ADJUSTABLE AND NON ADJUSTABLE TOE LINKS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2010 CAMARO PART NO. 20141 & 20142
FORM 97149883 04/10
Thank you for your purchase. Installation of Lakewood Industries’ toe links will improve stability during braking and high load conditions. Additionally, adjustable toe links increase the available amount of adjustment over the O.E. toe adjustment to compensate for vehicles lowered with adjustable coil over shocks.
CAUTION: INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES WORKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT. THE USE OF AN AUTOMOTIVE LIFT IS RECOMMENDED. MAKE SURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFELY SUPPORTED AND ALWAYS USE JACK STANDS. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
WARNING: DUE TO THE TECHNICAL NATURE OF THIS PRODUCT, AND SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT, PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS RECOMMENDED.
For technical assistance, please call 216-688-8300 Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM EST.
1. Safely raise and secure the vehicle. Removal of some O.E. hardware may require the ability to compress the rear suspension.
2. Detach the clips retaining the vehicle speed sensor wire to the O.E. toe link.
3. Remove the bolt securing the O.E. toe link to the hub carrier assembly. Work on one side at a time. Remove bolt securing the O.E. toe link to the frame mount, and remove the O.E. link from the vehicle. Mark the location of the eccentric washer prior to removal of the assembly, see figure 1.
4. For adjustable models only, use light oil on the threads, adjust the length of the Lakewood toe link by rotating the ends into the center hex nut. Use the center to center distance of the OE toe link as a starting point. Once the desired length is set, tighten the jam nuts.
CAUTION: EACH THREADED END MUST BE ENGAGED A MINIMUM OF 5 TURNS INTO THE CENTER HEX NUT.
5. Reuse the factory mounting hardware to install the Lakewood toe link in the original position. Be sure to position the eccentric washer as marked from step 3.
6. Secure the vehicle speed sensor wire using a wire tie.
7. Tighten the hardware with suspension compressed and the
vehicle at ride height.
8. Using SAE automotive suspension grease, apply grease via the supplied fittings on each end of the toe link.
Important note for adjustable toe links. Toe settings can dramatically alter vehicle handling characteristics as well as tire wear. Increasing toe-in can help improve vehicle stability at high speeds and reduce a tendency to over steer during hard cornering. Toe out will improve vehicle turn in, giving a more responsive feel, as well as a reduced tendency to under steer during hard corning. Due to the precise nature of alignment settings, changes should only be made by certified technicians using the appropriate equipment. These adjustments are recommended to be used by experienced professionals during closed course competition. Please observe all traffic laws.
