Installation instructions
1. Raise and safely support the front of your vehicle at a comfortable working level
2. Remove existing spindles and steering linkage, leaving only the control arms, steering box, and pitman
arm in place.
3. Remove OEM inner tie rod ends from the OEM draglink as you will be re-using that original draglink.
4. Assemble the new RideTech draglink adapter bracket onto the OEM draglink with the supplied tapered
studs and washers per the enclosed drawings.
5. Install the new RideTech spindles onto the control arms per the enclosed drawings. NOTE: The
RideTech spindle has been fitted with the RideTech control arms. IF you are using another brand of
control arms, or OEM control arm…MAKE SURE to run the suspension through its travel to ensure
there is no ball joint bind and that proper alignment can be achieved. Ball joint nut torque = 83 ft lbs
6. Install the remainder of the Tru Turn steering linkage as shown in the attached drawings. MAKE SURE
that ALL cotter pins are used in the appropriate places and that there is no binding or interference
throughout the entire suspension travel.
7. Adjust the camber and toe roughly until you can get the vehicle to a proper alignment shop. The
recommended alignment settings are:
Camber - -.5 to -1.5 [within .3 from side to side]
Caster – 4 to 7 degrees positive
Toe - 1/8 to ¼ toe in
Feel free to experiment with alternative alignment settings that may be more appropriate for your particular
driving style.
Installation notes:
A. The draglink bracket has one attachment hole [A] that is slotted. This is to accommodate the
variations in manufacturing and machining processes from 1967, as well as any wear that may
have occurred to the original draglink since that time.
B. RideTech has successfully fitted a Baer disc brake system to this spindle. Other brands of disc
brake brackets MAY need clearancing or adjustment for proper installation. The RideTech spindle
duplicates the GM A body and F body bolt pattern [B] for brake bracket installation.
C. MAKE SURE that the cotter pins are properly installed in all appropriate places [C] to ensure that
the castle nuts do not become loose and fail. These are VERY important connections!
D. IF your oem drag link is severely worn at the inner tie rod attachment holes [D] you may need to
replace that unit with a new oem style draglink to ensure that the [RideTech supplied] tapered pin
adapters DO NOT pull through that hole.
Note:
Note:
rod is bent down to allow clearance
of the idler arm.

Due to variances in the
thickness of the factory drag link,
7/16” flat washers are provided and
may be needed to align the castle
nut with the cotter pin hole.

If using a factory style
stamped caliper bracket, the bracket
may need to be trimmed. The dust
shield may also need to be modified.
