denny411 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I could use this info too. I bought a set from another member that did not have the instruction sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagz Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I've got the full install kit still in the box. I'll go find it, scan the sheet and post later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecp48 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hey Guys, I just got through with this. The instuctions are from hunger. First the the old bushings must be completely removed, including shell for the front arm and the outside (spindle pin end) of the rear arms. The bushing slides into the housing on the arms without a shell. I have not done the mustache bar, but I have been told that you need the shell on that one, so burn out the old rubber. The inside of the rear arms just slide onto the existing hub (along with a sleeve, using the existing large bolt and washer to hold them on. Rear of the differential side of the arm uses one small bushing and one large bushing (I don't remember the numbers), front uses two of the smaller bushings (smaller, meaning length, both front and rear use the same diameter bushing). I have not installed the transmission mounts yet, so no comment. Hope this helps, if you need the numbers to match it up let me know and I'll try to see them on the car. I had a long discussion with Customer Service about correcting the instructions two months ago. Also, check that you have all of the correct busings. I had an extra small bushing for the inside of the rear arms and was short a longer one. They sent me out one asap, after my call to customer service, no questions asked. Good product and people, but the instructions need help. ecp48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverz Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Here is the deal with the transmission bushing you need to check the size of the bushing. I needed to leave the old bushing ring in or it had to much slop and gets you no wear. as for the other bushings I only have the front end done and found out I didn't get the bushings that hold the sway bar the under side of the car. Might want to check that out before you start. By the way even with only the front end done there is a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
