Installation Instructions: Read the instructions entirely to understand the process before beginning the work. Remove your steering knuckle and remove the threaded camber/height adjustment sleeve from the inner C . Use of tool such as Sunex 392108 socket is recommended. Clean the threads using a 1-1/8"-12 tap or using the threaded camber/height adjustment and spray WD40 and run it completely up and down through the upper c multiple times till the thread become clean. Remove both the upper and lower ball joints from the steering knuckle. Press in a new lower OEM style ball joint of choice. Use an H-frame shop press to press in the supplied bronze bushing in the kit. This is done by using the supplied steel stud as the "driver" in the bronze busing and pressing the bronze bushing in from the top side of the steering knuckle. The bronze bushing is an interference press fit and will go in tight. Be careful not to damage the bronze bushing during the pressing step. It MUST be pressed in straight to the knuckle bore to avoid damage. If it is damaged it WILL result in tight steering rotation. Once the bronze is pressed all the way in take the steel stud back out. Take the BJE steel threaded stud, apply grease on the threads, and screw it into the under side of the inner C. The steel stud has a hex milled into it. Use an 11/16" 6 point socket to screw the stud in. Do NOT use an impact! If for some reason threads hang up, remove the steel stud, and clean the threads again. Thread the steel stud all the way in at this point. Reassemble the knuckle by sliding the bottom ball joint and upper Ball Joint Eliminator through the lined up holes. Tighten the lower ball joint to 70 lb*ft. Adjust the upper BJE down to were it is fully seated with the bronze in the steering knuckle. Weld the supplied washer on the bottom of the Ball Joint Eliminator (MIG or TIG). Be careful not to get the steel too warm. Once cool, back the BJE off some to see a slight gap (~.010"-.040" ish). Install the axle shafts, outer assemblies, wheels/tires, and lower the vehicle onto the ground. Install the grease zerks and grease the BJE with a high moly grease. Tighten the BJE steel stud to a snug fit against the bronze to ~30 lb*ft. Maintain the steel stud rotational position while tightening the supplied jam nut to 50 lb*ft.
