Installation Instructions 1. Raise and support vehicle at a safe, comfortable working height. Let the front suspension hang freely. 2. Remove the coil spring, shock absorber, upper shock bracket, strut rod, sway bar, upper and lower control arms. Refer to factory service manual for proper disassembly procedure. 3. Be sure to remove the outer bushing sleeve from the strut rod frame mount. 4. Remove any excess undercoating or rust. 5.
8. The bearing stud should already be threaded into the lower arm, factory set at 2-15/16” (measuring from the end of the arm to the bearing). 9. Slide the stud through the bearing, then slide the aluminum spacer over the stud with the larger end toward the front of the car. Secure the assembly with a ¾” Nylok Nut and flat washer. Note: The caster setting should set at around 3.5 degrees positive. Vehicle must be aligned before driving. 10.

1. Bolt the upper StrongArm to the body using ½” x 2 ½” bolts, flat washers and lock washers. A shim is supplied and may need to be installed between the body and the arms to achieve proper alignment. 2. The arms are preset at the factory so the alignment should be close, but the vehicle must be aligned before driving. Note: The upper arm mounting holes on many cars have been redrilled 1” lower. This is done to improve the handling.

1. Raise the vehicle to a safe and comfortable working height. Use jack stands to support the vehicle with the suspension hanging freely. 2. Support the axle and remove the leaf springs, shocks and tail pipes. Refer to the factory service manual for proper disassemble procedures. Hang on to the front leaf spring bolts, they will be reused. 3. The square U-bolts hold the upper cradle in place and will slide through two existing holes. Some cars may not have these holes.
5. The front of the cradle locates off of the pinion snubber mount. A reinforcement plate is supplied and is installed on the inside of the car with the bolt threads pointing up. It is held in place by two 5/16” bolts with lock washers and flat washers. Two additional 7/16” holes must be drilled through the floor pan. 7/16” x 1 ¼” bolts, Nyloks and flat washers are supplied Note: Inspect the factory welds holding the pinion snubber mount to the floor pan, re-weld if necessary. 6.
9. The large end of the lower bar (the longer one) will bolt into the front stock leaf spring mount using the stock hardware with the grease zerk down. 10. This bushing in polyurethane and is lubricated at the factory with lithium grease. Future lubrication can be done with any non-petroleum based lubricant. The rubber bushings don’t require lubrication. 11. Swing the bar up to the axle mount and insert 5/8” x 2 3/4" bolt and thin nyloc. Do not tighten just yet. 12.
16. How do you set the pinion angle? On a singlepiece shaft you want to set it up where a line drawn through the center of the engine crankshaft or output shaft of the transmission and a line drawn through the center of the pinion are parallel to each other but not the same line. A simple way to do this is to place a digital angle finder or dial level on the front face of the lower engine pulley or harmonic balancer.
17. Once all of the angles are set, tack weld the upper tabs to the axle. To avoid frying the bushing remove the upper bar first then weld solid. 18. Install upper bars. With the vehicle at ride height snug all 4 link bar bolts. 19. Apply thread sealant to the air fitting and screw it into the top of the Shockwave. Bolt the Shockwave into place using 1/2" x 2 1/4" bolts with nylocs. 20.
Upper Bar Installation Jig • • • • • • • • • • • This jig has been supplied to aid in the installation of the upper 4 link bar. It can be temporarily used to properly align, locate and weld the tabs onto the axle. It will also ensure that the mounting bolts are parallel to the ground. Follow the diagram below to set the jig to the same length as the upper bar, use the 3/8” x 3/4” bolt and nuts to set the length. Position the axle at ride height. Center the axle left to right between the quarter panels.
