1. Raise Vehicle
Raise the vehicle and put it up on jack stands. You may also use a 2-post or 4post lift.
2. Remove Stock Arms
Remove the front wheels and uninstall the stock upper A-Arms.
3. A-Arm Relocater
Place the A-Arm Relocator into place as shown below. The Relocators are only
installed on the forward mounting point. (NOTE: Picture is showing Passenger
side)

4. Check for Bolt Clearance
In some instances, we seen clearance issues for the Relocator bolt. Check to
see if the hole that is used to connect the A-Arm is clear. (NOTE: Pictures below
shows the Driver side)
5. Grind if Necessary
If anything is in the way, grind it down and recheck clearance. Repeat until bolt
fits.

6. Install A-Arm Relocators
Slide the stock camber bolt w/washer through the top hole of the A-Arm
Relocator. The other end will end up inside the engine bay. Install the washer
and nut snugly, but do not fully tighten. You will need to induce some preload
to position the Relocator properly. You can do this by rotating the camber bolt
clock wise until you feel resistance. The Relocator should position itself snugly
onto the frame. Fully tighten the camber bolt by tightening the nut side keeping
the bolt static.

7. Install A-Arm Front Mount
Use hardware kit 17101 and install the split lock washer & AN washer onto each
½” socket-head bolt. Included in you’re A-Arm kit will be an assortment of
aluminum spacers with varying thicknesses. Grab one 0.185” spacer for each
Relocator. NOTE: If your mount came pre-assembled by Hotchkis, please use
the spacer that was installed on the mount. Insert the socket-head bolt slightly
into the bottom hole of the A-Arm Relocator just enough so you can rest the
spacer on the tip of it on the inside of the Relocator as shown below. Next, slide
the A-Arm into place, slide bolt all the way through, then fully tighten to 35-40 ft-
lbs. See bottom picture for full detail.

8. Install Other Side of A-Arm
The trailing end of the A-Arm will be bolted into the stock mounting hole. Install
2 misalignment spacers.
1110 66-70 B-Body, 70-74 E-Body
Position the A-Arm so that the other heim joint is lined up with the mounting hole.
You will notice there will be gaps on each side of the joint. You will need to add
spacers (included in your kit) to take up the gaps. These gaps are not consistent
from car to car so you will have to use the appropriate thickness spacers on
each gap. You may have to use combinations of varying thicknesses to
achieve proper gaping. See below as an example.

Once the proper spacer arrangement is achieved, insert the camber bolt
through the stock mount hole and the other end will end up in the engine bay.
Install the camber washer and nut. Adjust the bolt so that the bolt is in the
center of its adjustment. Fully tighten nut for now. This will be adjusted once you
get an alignment.
9. Connect A-Arm to Spindle
Lift the A-Arm and lineup the ball joint stud to the hole in the spindle and slide
the stud in.
