Anti-Sway Bar Brackets and Steering Gear

Step 45.1

Retrieve your Front Wheel and Steering assembly from the previous kit. Slide the post at the end of the Pitman Arm over the central post of the Center Link.

The narrow end of the Pitman Arm eyelet should face the Center Link, as shown:

Secure the Pitman Arm to the Center Link with one (1) DS04 screw.

Step 45.3

Retrieve your Chassis assembly from Kit 43 and carefully turn it over. Fit the Steering Gear into the matching slot at this location on the Front Chassis, as shown.

Secure the Steering Gear to the Front Chassis from the other side with one (1) PS05 screw:

Fit the Left Anti-Sway Bracket to this keyed location on the underside of the Front Chassis, as shown:
