Installation
‰ 1. REMOVE OE TIE ROD MOUNT
 Remove the steering stabilizer retainer nut from
the factory mount on the tie rod.
 Remove end of stabilizer from factory mount.
 Remove the hardware that secures the factory
stabilizer mount to the tie rod.
 Remove the factory stabilizer mount from the ve-
hicle and discard along with original hardware.
‰ 2. INSTALL NEW STEERING STABILIZER
TIE ROD MOUNT
 To ensure a proper fit, clean any dirt, debris or
grease from surface of tie rod where the stabilizer
was mounted.
 Determine the ideal configuration and placement
of the Steering Stabilizer Tie Rod Mount on the tie
rod. Take into consideration the following factors:
 Stabilizer mount on tie rod should be aligned
with stabilizer mount on axle. There should
be no binding of the stabilizer or its bushings
throughout its entire stroke.
 Mounting position on tie rod must allow unre-
stricted steering from lock-to-lock.
 Tie Rod Mount and steering stabilizer must
not interfere with differential cover on axle.
 For maximum versatility, the Steering Stabilizer
Tie Rod Mount can be installed in various configu-
rations based on your individual vehicle require-
ments. The following are just two of the most
common configurations:
 Place the Tie Rod Bracket Assembly (A) on the tie
rod in the desired configuration and loosely install
the U-Bolt Straps (B) along with the 7/16” Split
Lock Washers (C) and 7/16” GR5 Nuts (D). Do not
tighten hardware yet.
IMPORTANT: This product is not compatible
with the factory steering stabilizer. An after-
market damper with 5/8” ID bushings must be
installed.
 Slide end of steering stabilizer onto mounting
stud of Tie Rod Bracket Assembly (A) followed by
the supplied 7/16” Fender Washer (E) and 7/16”
Ovalok Nut (F).
IMPORTANT: If stabilizer bushing contains a
metal sleeve, remove it to allow fitment.
 Tighten 7/16” Ovalok Nut (F) until the Fender
Washer (E) bottoms on the mounting stud.
 With the Steering Stabilizer Tie Rod Mount loosely
installed on tie rod, find a position that allows
unrestricted lock-to-lock steering and full steering
stabilizer travel.
 Once the final mounting position is established,
evenly tighten each of the 7/16” GR5 Nuts (D) to
35 ft-lbs. using a torque wrench.
