5. MOUNT CONNECTOR TO CHASSIS

BRACKET



Assemble Chassis Brace Connector by completely

threading a 5/8” Jam Nut (S and T) onto each 1/2”

x 5/8” Rod End (Q and R), and then inserting a rod

end into each end of the Chassis Connector Tube

(O). Leave approximately 1/2” of thread showing

between ends of tube and jam nuts.



Remove the 1/2” x 2” Bolt (U) from the Steering

Sector Pillow Block (E). Then loosen both 3/8” x 1”

Bolts (L) and the 7/16” Bolt (J) just enough to allow

the Rod End (Q or R) to be inserted between the

Chassis Bracket and Pillow Block.



Locate the slotted end of the Chassis Connector

Tube (O) and slide the rod end closest to it be-

tween the Chassis Bracket and Pillow Block. Re-

insert the 1/2” x 2” Bolt (U) and finger tighten.



Starting with the two 3/8” Bolts (L), slowly and

evenly tighten all four mounting bolts until snug. Do

not tighten only one bolt at a time – all bolts should

be tightened together.



Using a torque wrench, continue to tighten the two

3/8” Bolts (L) to 35 ft-lbs., and tighten the 7/16”

Bolt (J) to 50 ft-lbs. Do not fully tighten the 1/2”

Bolt (U) until specified later in these instructions.

HINT: The extra 1/2” Locking Nut (W) & 1/2” Flat

Washer (V) supplied with Front Trackbar Chassis

Brace are not used when mounting to Steering

Sector Pillow Block (E).

6. MOUNT CONNECTOR TO

PASSENGER-SIDE CHASSIS RAIL



On opposite end of Chassis Connector Tube (O),

install weld-on Frame Bracket (P) using a 1/2” x 2”

Bolt (U), two 1/2” Flat Washers (V) and 1/2” Lock-

ing Nut (W). Tighten hardware until snug.


