Got my new parts yesterday but when I took everything out of the box, there were no instructions. Does anyone have any instructions on how to install these? I mean most of it is self explanitory but there are some things I have to question. Like, where does the large O ring go? My best guess would be it is a seal to go on the outside to seal out dirt fromt the external rollers around the washer between the control arm and the mount on the car. This is starting to look like work. Mike, you out there?? This is your design.

oh yea....if you want, you can also add grease fittings to the trailing arm once the tube is installed, the zerk fittings can be found at your FLAPS, just drill and tap for the fitting

pack the bearings and lube the entire OD of the shaft before installing.......


two people are helpful with the install, the needle bearings are darn near 0 friction, the trailing arm will pivot so freely it can be dangerous if you lift the trailing arm up with no shock on it since the trailing arm will now swing back down with 0 resistance
