17. Install the Spring
Rotate the a-arm up and place a jack underneath. Place the spring up into the upper
pocket and index it using your white out guide. Clock the a-arm isolator so the end of
the coil matches up with the index of the isolator. Slowly jack the arm up while pushing
the bottom half of the spring inboard into the isolator pocket. This step will be easy with
aftermarket lowering springs and difficult with OEM stock springs. For OEM stock
springs, you may need to use a series of pry bars to pop the bottom end into the pocket.
Once the bottom is popped in, line up the lower ball joint stud with the bottom of the
spindle. Continue to jack the a-arm up and insert the ball joint stud into the spindle.
Once the stud is in all the way, install the supplied castle nut. Fully tighten this nut and
install the new cotter pin. Once the castle nut is fully fastened, you may release the jack
and relieve the pressure on the a-arm.
