TC Kline Double Adjustable Suspension Install
A combination of a Snap-On Master ball joint kit and a Harbor Freight front wheel driver adapter cup kit was needed to get the original bushings out.
The new bolt is much longer than the old one FYI; it does fit though. To get these in and out, you have to pinch your side coolant hoses quite a bit. But no leaks fortunately.
The bushings need to be pressed out of course, but the Fall Line bearing slid into place with no problem, which seemed not the case with the content I found on the web..which was not very plentiful.
Anyway, I forged on. Once in the arm, I applied medium thread lock prior to assembly, tightened the plate screws and added witness marks. They were very secure then and have been noise free since installation. No way to determine a noticeable difference since I swapped suspension at the same time. The bolt in the knuckle got replaced also and is also slightly redesigned; most notably that it's now a nylon lock nut.
