Before You Start:

Please read the entire manual before starting. Most pictures shown are of the
driver side a-arm. Please perform the same procedure for the passenger side.

1. Raise Vehicle

Raise the vehicle and put it up on jack stands. You may also use a 2-post or 4­post lift.

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. 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. 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, 70-14 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.
