15. Tighten shank nuts with 1” socket to 70 ft/lbs. Now jam each support bracket in between the jam
nuts with both 15/16” boxed end wrenches, to 60 ft-lb. now tighten the factory nuts shown in
figures 11 and 12 on the idler arm pivot to 70 ft/lb and the pitman arm to 120 ft/lb, these 2 will
only permit an open end wrench due to space constraints, so get them really tight by hand with
the wrenches.
16. If using a factory or aftermarket steering stabilizer be sure to cycle the steering before driving to
insure clearance at the steering stabilizer shock area.
17.
Reinstall the skid plate and fan shroud, tightening fasteners to 40 ft/lbs. a toe setting alignment
may be needed.
