58-64 Chevy Car ARF10600-LCA Installation Instructions
1. Raise and support car at a safe, comfortable working height. Let the front suspension
hang freely
2. Remove coil spring, shock absorber, and lower control arm. Refer to factory service manual for
proper disassembly procedure.
Note: Lower arms will not work with stock 1958 spindles.
3. Position the upper shock mount on the
frame so the hole in the bracket aligns with
the hole in the side of the frame and the
tab is against the bottom of the frame.
You may have to trim some of the inner
fender well for clearance. On manual shift
cars you may have trim the bottom of the
Z-bar clutch bracket on the driver’s side.
4. Mark the hole in the bottom of the
frame and drill with 5/16” bit. Use the 3/8”
self-tapping bolts supplied and bolt the
bracket to the frame. Mark and drill the
remaining holes.
Picture shows alignment hole on side of
frame.
5. Insert air fitting into air spring using
tread sealant. Place the upper cup onto
the studs on the air spring and tighten
using two 3/8” nyloc and flat washers.
Thread the 8” stud into nut in bottom of air
spring cup.
6. Install air spring assembly into the coil
spring pocket with the tall side of the
bracket towards the wheel. With the stud
protruding through the OEM shock hole
secure the assembly with the supplied
hardware. (The airline must also be
routed at this time.)
7. Bolt the lower Strong Arm to the frame
using stock fasteners. The air spring will
be attached to the lower arm using a
3/8” x 3/4" bolt.
8. Attach the shock to the upper mount
using the hardware kit supplied.
9. Insert the shock stud through the lower
shock eye and then place the aluminum
spacer onto the stud. The step on the
spacer will go into the arm. Slide the stud
through the lower arm and tighten.
10. Attach the adjustable steering stop to
the lower arm using two 5/16” x 1” bolts.
This can be adjusted to maintain tire/shock
clearances.
11. The sway bar end link must be
shortened to 2” tall optimize clearance and
alignment. Use the shorter 3/8” x 6 ½”
bolt supplied.
14.
Check all clearance with brake lines, airlines, tie rod, sway bar, and tire through full suspension
travel and turn wheel lock to lock.
15. Check air spring clearances through full suspension travel. If the air spring rubs the frame it
could cause failure.
16. The driving height of the car is determined by the height of the air spring. This air spring should
be approximately 5.5” tall at ride height.
