 |
| After we removed the original steering components, the factory
steering box mounting holes were opened up to allow the new box to be installed
using larger and sturdier mounting hardware. |
|
 |
| We installed a new idler arm making sure to reinstall the
factory spacer. |
|
 |
| This car was factory-equipped with a sway bar so the mounts
for the links were already on the A-arms, but for cars without these brackets,
CPP supplies these mounts with their new 1-inch-diameter sway bar. |
|
 |
| Fresh holes may be required to mount the sway bar brackets
depending on original equipment. New tie rods and a reconditioned centerlink
from CPP were installed after the sway bar was in place. |
|
 |
| If you're retaining the original steering column, the factory
steering shaft needs to be shortened with the new larger steering box. We
measured and marked the shaft to be shortened. |
|
 |
| The shaft was shortened the desired amount with the help of
a chop saw. |
|
 |
| After securely tack welding the shaft to the coupler, a drill
was used to drill the shaft and coupler and then a roll pin was installed
as some added insurance. Supplied new power steering hoses will be installed
following the fresh power plant. |
|
 |
| The rear sway bay was mocked into place and measured to ensure
proper mounting location. |
|
 |
| Four holes needed to be drilled in the trailing arms and then
the mounts were installed using the supplied hardware. |
|
 |
| With the install complete, the new l-inch-diameter rear sway
bar, in conjunction with the new front sway bar, will greatly reduce body
roll and keep over/under steer to a minimum. |
