strut retaining nut, then remove the upper strut mount assembly from the

CAMBER/CASTER PLATE ASSEMBLY

STEP 7

Determine which Camber/Caster Plate is driver or passenger side by looking

at the engraved SUB768D for Driver side and SUB768P for Passenger side.

Install the 2 provided stud plates from the bearing plate, with the studs

protruding through the slots. NOTE! Make sure the larger radius between the

2 studs of each plate face the bearing.

STEP 9

Install the Camber/Caster Assembly to the supplied Ford Strut Tower Pivot

Assembly.

NOTE! Use extreme caution, once the Camber/Caster Plate is installed

to the Pivot Assembly it CAN NOT be removed. If removed it can cause

serious damage to the top strut mount.

STRUT AND SPRING RE-ASSEMBLY

STEP 10

Place the Camber/Caster Assembly onto the Strut Assembly.

NOTE! There is a supplied spacer for the 2005-2010 Mustang GT Models

that needs to be placed onto the strut shaft before sliding the Camber/

Caster Plate on.

Make sure to correctly align the top “pigtail” of the spring with the vertical face

on the stock rubber isolator, and the bottom “pigtail” of the spring with the

vertical face on the lower spring perch.

STEP 11

Re-install the upper strut retaining nut and washer if used. Make sure both

pigtails are properly located both in the lower spring perch and on the upper

rubber isolator as you loosen the spring compressor.

STEP 8

Place the Caster Plate on top of the bearing plate. Make sure that the raised

lip around the bearing plate protrudes up through the center slot of the Caster

Plate. NOTE! The use of a rubber band will help hold the stud plates in position

while installing. Be sure the plates move from side to side smoothly.
