INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS PERFORMANCE

DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE TRAILING ARMS

1) Securely block the front wheels of the vehicle. Use a jack to raise the rear of the vehicle and

support with jack stands to the frame.

2) Use a 15/16” wrench or socket to loosen and remove the stock upper trailing arm hardware. For

Vehicles with two upper arms,

Remove and replace only one arm at a time

as this will help

keep the axle aligned properly and make it easier for removal and replacement. You may

discard the stock hardware and upper arm(s).

3) Check the stock arm mounting hole center-to-center measurement. The Hotchkis upper arm center-to-center length should match the stock arm measurement. If the Hotchkis arm does not match the center-to-center length of the stock arm then you should adjust the length to match. Loosen the jam nuts at each end and turn the center section only! Do not turn the ends individually, as this will shorten the range of adjustment for the arm.

7) To adjust the arm, loosen the jam nuts at both ends of the center section. With the jam nuts loose, rotate the center section until the desired pinion angle is reached. One rotation (360deg) of the center section will equal approximately 1deg and .125” of length. One half of a rotation (180deg) of the center will equal approximately 1/2deg and .0625” of length. Stock arm length from center to center is 12.813” (12-13/16”) The maximum suggested length of the arm from center to center is 13.
