WARNING: When the tires / wheels are installed, always check for and remove any
corrosion, dirt, or foreign material on the wheel mounting surface, or anything that contacts
the wheel mounting surface (hub, rotor, etc.). Installing wheels without the proper metal-tometal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the lug nuts to loosen and the
wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING: Retighten lug nuts at 500 miles after any wheel change, or anytime the lug nuts
are loosened. Failure to do so could cause wheels to come off while vehicle is in motion.
23) CLEARANCE CHECK...

With the vehicle still on jack stands, and the suspension “hanging” at full extension travel,
cycle steering lock-to-lock and check all components for proper operation and clearances.
Pay special attention to the clearance between the tires / wheels and brake hoses, wiring,
etc.

Lower vehicle to the floor.
24) TRACK BAR ADJUSTMENT…

Rotate the adjustment sleeve to lengthen or shorten the bar until the upper eye lines up with
the track bar mount on the frame. Secure the frame end of the bar using the factory
hardware.
IMPORTANT: Observe the amount of thread engagement in the track bar adjustment
sleeve. The threads can be observed through the slit present in the sleeve. The minimum
amount of each track bar end’s thread engagement within the sleeve is 1.50”.

Tighten the track bar bolts at the axle and at the frame (129).

Tighten the adjuster sleeve clamp bolts (25).

CAUTION: Failure to tighten the lug nuts in the sequence shown can result in high tire and
wheel runout, which speeds up the development of brake roughness, shudder and vibration.
WARNING: Retighten lugs at 500 miles after any wheel change, or anytime the lug nuts are
loosened. Failure to do so could cause wheels to come off while vehicle is in motion.
