Component Box Breakdown:


Installation:

Note: This Skyjacker steering stabilizer is only designed to work with vehicles equipped with a Skyjacker adjustable track bar.

1. Park the vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface with the front tires / wheels pointing straight forward.

2. Set the emergency brake & block the rear tires / wheels.

3. Attach the new Skyjacker steering stabilizer bracket into the OEM track bar mount. Attach the new bracket to the OEM mounting hole using the OEM hardware. Hold the new bracket straight so the outer mounting tab can be marked & drilled. (See Photo # 1)

4. Using a 17/64" drill bit, drill the outer mounting tab hole. Attach the outer mounting tab using the supplied 3/8" x 1" fine thread bolt, washers, & nut. Attach the new Skyjacker tie rod bracket to the OEM tie rod using the supplied 5/16" u-bolts, washers, & nuts. Note: Do not tighten at this time.

5. Assemble the new Skyjacker steering stabilizer. Install the boot first, then install the bushing & steel sleeve in the body end of the stabilizer. Install the bushing & stud on the shaft end of the stabilizer.

6. Pull the shaft out of the new Skyjacker steering stabilizer half way & attach the new steering stabilizer to both of the new brackets. Attach the new steering stabilizer to the new axle bracket using the supplied 10mm bolt & nut. Attach to the new tie rod bracket using the supplied stud. Before tightening the new tie rod bracket to the OEM tie rod, it will be necessary to adjust the new tie rod bracket so the new steering stabilizer can be installed with shaft pulled out half way. (See Photo # 2)


Final Notes:

• After the installation is complete, double check that all nuts & bolts are tight. Refer to the following chart for the proper torque specifications. (Do not retighten the nuts & bolts where thread lock compound was used.)

• Cycle the steering of the vehicle left to right & check all parts for adequate clearance.

• After the first 100 miles, check all of the hardware for the proper torque & periodically thereafter.


• The above specifications are not to be used when the bolt is being installed with a bushing.
