JKS Bar Pin Eliminator Installation
2 Page
Inspect shock bushings for wear and deterioration.
If new bushings are needed, replace with standard
5/8” ID hourglass type bushings before installing
Bar Pin Eliminators.
2. MOUNT BAR PIN ELIMINATOR TO
SHOCK ABSORBER
Apply a thin coating of wheel bearing grease to
the Cross Pin (A).
Insert Cross Pin (A) through upper bushing of
shock absorber.
Slide remaining Mounting Block (B) onto opposite
end of Cross Pin (A), making sure bolt and roll pin
holes are correctly positioned.
IMPORTANT: This product is designed to preload the
shock absorber bushings for maximum performance
and longevity. Therefore, you should find it neces-
sary to compress the bushing approximately 1/16” to
1/8” before the mounting bolts and/or roll pins can be
inserted.
If you are able to install the mounting blocks with-
out compressing the shock bushing, insert a SAE
5/8” flat washer (not supplied) between the bush-
ing and Mounting Block to ensure proper bushing
preload.
Squeeze Mounting Blocks together to compress
the shock absorber bushing until bolt and roll pin
holes align.
HINT: A bench vice or C-clamp is use-
ful for compressing shock bushing.
Tap the 1/8” Roll Pin (C) through Mounting Block
(B) and into corresponding hole in Cross Pin (A).
3. RE-INSTALL SHOCK ABSORBERS
Clean any dirt or debris from the upper shock
mounting surface on chassis.
HINT: A sanding or
grinding wheel is useful for removing any stubborn
material.
Place a Split Washer (E) on each of the supplied
Hex Bolts (D).
Position Bar Pin Eliminator on mounting surface
of chassis bracket. Insert 50mm Hex Bolts (D)
through mounting blocks and thread into original
shock mounting holes.
HINT: Mounting Blocks of
Bar Pin Eliminator must lay completely flat against
surface of chassis bracket.
Using a torque wrench, tighten 50mm Hex Bolts
(D) to 25-35 ft-lbs.
Install shock absorber to lower axle bracket using
factory hardware.
Using a torque wrench, tighten shock mounting
bolt to 56 ft-lbs.
