INTRODUCTION

Associated's hugely popular RC10L series Dynamic Strut front 
suspension kit includes adjustments for caster, camber, toe in 
and toe out, and other tuning tricks, all explained in detail in the 
tuning tips section following the assembly instructions.

HOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ORGANIZED

The line drawings indicate which parts you'll need to take out 

of the bag for that step. A "1:1" indicates that part is drawn 
actual size. You can place your part on top to make sure you 
have the right part.

 We put numbers within black circles to help you link the text 

instructions with the drawing. 

3

 The instructions in each step are ordered in the order you 

complete them, so read the words AND follow the pictures.

 When we refer to the left and right sides of the car, we are 

referring to the river's point of view from inside the car.
