NOTE: Only remove one control arm at a time. Removing both control arms from the vehicle at the same time may cause damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury.

Step 1. Raise the Vehicle
	1A. With the front wheels properly blocked; raise the rear end of the vehicle as high as safely possible. Place jack stands on a solid area under the frame of the car, not the rear end. Remove the wheels at this time.
	1B. Tip: Place the jack stands slightly forward of the front control arm mounting bolt or on the mounting plate of the subframe connectors if you have them.
Step 2. Raise Rear Axle
	Using a floor jack under the center section of the rear end, raise the rear axle of the vehicle until it is at ride height.
Step 3. Support Rear Axle
	Place jack stands securely under the axle for support.
Step 4. Disconnect Parking Brake Cable
	A. Making sure that the parking brake is not applied, disconnect the parking brake cable from the brake caliper by prying the pivot arm down and sliding the cable out of the pivot arm groove.
	B. Remove the parking brake retainer clip that holds the cable in the caliper and slide the cable out through the control arm.
Step 5. Loosen Mounting Bolts
	Working on one side of the vehicle at a time, loosen, but do not remove, the 2 control arm mounting bolts.
	5a. Loosen rear mounting bolt
	5b. Loosen front mounting bolt
Step 6. Remove Mounting Bolts
	6a. Remove rear mounting bolt allowing the control arms to swing free of the axle mount.
	6b. Remove the front mounting bolt and remove the factory control arm from the vehicle.
Step 7. Clean & inspect mounting points
	Fully inspect all mounting points and remove any debris. Apply a light coating of the supplied synthetic grease to all surfaces that will be in contact with the bushings. At this time, also coat the outside of the bushings themselves with the same supplied grease.
	7a. Clean, inspect, and Lube mounting points
	7b. Lubricate Bushing Faces
Step 8. Install Control Arm
	8a. With the parking brake cable retainer facing inboard and the CHE decal right side up, install the control arm in the forward mount. Install the bolt with the nut toward the inside of the vehicle, but do not tighten at this time.
	8b. Install the control arm in the axle mount. Install the bolt with the nut toward the outside of the vehicle, but do not tighten at this time. Tip: If the axle has moved during removal, it may be necessary to align the bolt hole by carefully maneuvering the axle into position.
Step 9. Torque Fasteners
	Torque the front and rear mounting bolts to 80-90 ft-lbs

	10a. Holding the parking brake cable vertically, place it into the Parking Brake Cable Retainer Clamp.

Step 11. Install Parking Brake Cable in Caliper
	Thread the parking brake cable under the control arm and install the cable onto the parking brake pivot arm using the reverse procedure of removal. Re-install the parking brake retaining clip. NOTE: if using Anti-Squat (ICM) brackets which relocate the control arm mounting point, thread the parking brake cable over the control arm.
Step 12. Lock Parking Brake Cable in Retainer
	Using a soft faced hammer or other suitable tool, gently bend down the tabs of the Parking Brake Retainer Clamp to prevent the cable from coming out of the clamp. Do not force the tabs down so far as they restrict the movement of the parking brake cable, it should move freely or damage to the cable may occur.

Step 14. Inspect Installation
	Fully inspect the installation ensuring that the suspension is free to travel and that all fasteners have been properly installed.
