Before You Start :
Please read the entire manual before starting. These steering tie rods were designed to reduce weight, provide rigid steering feel, and allow for shimming for reducing bump steer. We highly recommend using our (P/N:1110) Upper A­Arms in conjunction with your Hotchkis steering tie rods for maximum sus pension geometry and performance.
1. Raise Vehicle
Raise the vehicle and put it up on jack stands. You may al so use a 2-post or 4­post lif t.
2. Remove Stock Steering Tie Rods
Remove the left and right stock steering tie rods from the vehicle. A big hammer is your friend in removing the ball joint studs from center link and spindle. A pickle fork may be needed if they are really tight.
3. Set Initial lengths for the Hotchkis Tie Rods
With the stock tie rods off, measure the center to center dimension of each link. Spin the hotchkis turnbuckle so that the center to center dimension matches the stock part. This will be an initial setting. A front end toe alignment will be needed once the tie rods are in place.
