FD Toe and Trailing Arm Install

1) Jack vehicle up and support safely with jack stands.

2) Remove rear wheel.

3) Simply unbolt the two 14mm toe arm bolts via standard wrench/ratchet or use an impact gun to make quick work of the bolts. To remove the trailing arms, one must remove the underbody aero tray that is held on by 10mm nuts/bolts. The trailing arm has a 14mm bolt on the suspension arm and one bolt/nut on the chassis.

4) Once the trailing arm is removed, the Fighters trailing arm can be installed by simply doing the reverse of removal. Adjust the arm so that the length is correct and simply bolt in the arm via the suspension arm and the chassis bracket. Tighten jam nut once length is set on the trailing arm. Reinstall underbody aero tray.

5) To install the Fighters toe arms, compare your new arm to the old one. Simply feed the bolt through the old arm and adjust the new arm until the bolts slide through it as well. This method makes sure that you are keeping your current alignment settings. Be sure to adjust both ends of the Fighters arm equally, do not turn only one side until the correct length is achieved.

You can see in the picture below that the bolts go through both arms and that each end of the Fighters arm is adjusted equally.

6) Check the clearance of the new toe arm and the hub bracket. If the arm just barely doesn't fit, then the spacers on the hub have been pushed in too much over time. The picture below will explain.

To spread the spacers back out, one can simply use a prying tool or a hammer and bolt. Simply feed the bolt through one side so that it aligns with the washer on the other side. Tap the hammer to push the bolt against the spacer and nudge them back a hair. It really is quite simple and not much force is required.

7) Once the toe arm fits in the hub side (complete with heim spacers), install is simply the reverse of removal. Bolt the two ends in via the stock bolts/nuts and tighten the jam nuts so that the adjustment is locked.

8) Firmly grab the toe and trailing arms and attempt to shake them to make sure that they are tightened to spec and that no free play is present.

9) Reinstall wheel and tighten lug nuts to spec. Lower vehicle.
