Need a little help with the rear spindle installation
Ok. So we are new to this and have come across something that we just weren't sure on. I couldn't find any detail for this in the manual, any addendum that I had or in the forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First, here is a picture of the left rear (driver's side) spindle/knuckle from overhead (with labels).
The labels are as follows:
A: The original rear lower link from the donor (that has the swar bar connection point)
B: The other original rear lower link with the slight bend in it.
C: The rear lower control arm from the donor
D: The 15" assembled FFR lateral link (thin tube)
E: The 6" assembled FFR upper lateral link
F: The 12" assembled FFR lower lateral link (thicker tube)
G: The optional FFR adjustable rear lower control arm
At this point we are confused on where some of things go and what replaces what. I think we are good on C, D and E. But as for the rest, here are my questions.
First, what does the optional FFR adjustable rear lower control arm (G) replace in the regular setup? I thought it replaced A in this picture so that is where I have it.
Second, I've seen pictures in the manuals that show the setup done with F where it is, and I've seen it with B where F is. What is even more confusing is that we got 4 sets of F in our kit so if we do use them where I have them in the picture there would be two left over. Which way should we be doing this? Right now it doesn't look right because when we put the long OEM bolt through G, the knuckle and then F, there aren't enough threads to tighten that bolt and no spacers were mentioned. There were 4 long gold bolts that came in the kit that look to be about the right length but they are too thick in diameter to go through the arms or knuckle.
Here is another picture from the side if that helps.
Thanks in advance,
- Lou
