Bolt check regularly, take note of the orientation of all the components in this view do not exceed the rod ends adjustments, each rod end should have a minimum of 1 to 1.5x the diameter of the joint. (For example, a ¾” rod end needs to have approx. 3/4”-1 1/8” inside of the arm at a minimum, this is 12-18 threads)
ACKERMANN PLATES
see the image for how to change the Ackermann plates. The kit includes +2, 0,
and -2 Ackermann plates. This is the difference in angle measured at full
lock. For example- with 0 Ackermann plates installed the angle of the car will
be 60 on the inside wheel, and 60 on the outside. please note that alignment
settings, rack position, and other variables can affect the Ackermann curve
resulting in differences from chassis to chassis, make adjustments according
to your individual setup
BUMP STOP BOLTS
using these bolts, adjust the length to limit the angle. This is to avoid
contact from the wheel to control arms components
SNAP RING
The snap ring must be installed on the bottom of the control arm, see the
