 With the axle housing centered beneath the chas-
sis, adjust the length of Adjustable Trackbar by ro-
tating the Axle End (A) until the Bushing Sleeve (F)
aligns with the mounting holes on the axle bracket.
HINT: If Bushing Sleeve at Axle End is not parallel
with axle bracket mounting holes, it may be neces-
sary to slightly bend the Axle End of trackbar using
a hydraulic press. Variations in the axle bracket
position are typically the result of modifications to
related suspension parts.
 Apply anti-seize lubricant to original mounting bolt
threads and adjustment threads of trackbar.
 Install Axle End (A) of Adjustable Trackbar to the
axle bracket by securing with the original mounting
hardware.
 Take measurements again to ensure axle housing
is perfectly centered and make any final adjust-
ments if necessary.
 Once all adjustments are complete, fully tighten
the Jam Nut (C) to prevent Adjustable Trackbar
length from changing. HINT: It may be easier
to tighten Jam Nut with the Adjustable Trackbar
removed from the vehicle.
 Tighten original mounting bolt on axle bracket to
75 ft-lb. using a torque wrench.
Maintenance
Check torque specifications regularly.
Regular cleaning with pressurized water is recom-
mended to maximize reliability.
