Instruction
- Measure lengths (center of stud to center of stud) of existing drag link and tie rod assembly.
- Apply anti-seize to drag link forging threads. Thread jam nuts onto forgings and thread forgings into the sleeve as shown in Fig. 1a.
- Repeat step 2 for tie rod assembly (Fig. 1b).
- Apply anti-seize to cartridge housing threads, thread cartridges into forgings and torque to 120 FT/LBS using TMR Customs 2.5 Ton Cartridge Wrench (SKU 1927) or a 2” socket.
- Adjust assemblies to match measurements taken in step 1.
- Install standard grease boots on drag link ends. Install hard polyurethane 1 piece lockout washers & seals on tie rod ends.
CAUTION: Do not install lockout washers on drag link! - Install assemblies and tighten nylon lock nuts. Torque lock nuts to 63 FT/LBS at steering arms and 77 FT/LBS at the pitman arm.
- Perform front end alignment, apply blue (medium strength) thread locker to jam nuts and tighten.
NOTE: When replacing a worn cartridge in the future no front end alignment will be required due to our unique forging/cartridge system that maintains the original alignment/position. - Drive with confidence knowing you installed the world’s strongest steering!
***NOTE: NEVER USE A PNEUMATIC GREASE GUN ON THE CARTRIDGES, DOING SO WILL CAUSE DAMAGE! ONLY USE A MANUAL GREASE GUN AND APPLY A CONSERVATIVE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE, DO NOT FORCE IT! ***
