Pivot endplay
Adjust the locknuts on the ends of the pivot shaft so that there is minimal endplay but so the pivots can
still rotate easily on the shaft.
The pivots may be a little stiff at first but once on the car they will loosen slightly.
Adjusting the upper control Arm
Use the diagram below for reference.
Slightly loosen the three pivot bolts using a ⅝” and
11
/
16
” wrench.
Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of each adjusting tubes using a 1⅛” wrench. Turn the adjusting tubes
to lengthen or shorten the arm.
After you have adjusted the arm to the desired length, tighten down the jam nuts against the adjusting
tubes, and then tighten each of the three pivot bolts. Torque the pivot bolts to 60 lbft.
Grease both ends using chassis grease frequently to insure smooth, trouble free operation.
If the pivots will not take grease, the endplay may be too tight.
There should never be more than 1” of thread showing past the tightened down jam nuts on
either end of both adjusting tubes.
The Pivot Bolts must be loosened while the car is being aligned and retightened afterwards
