For 1990-2009 cars only
- After installing the new bushings in the knuckle, they must be reamed to the correct dimensions.
- Install the knuckle in a vise.
- Insert a pilot adapter (6) in the bottom of the knuckle (5).
- Guide the reamer (3) down through the top of the knuckle until the tip of the arbor reaches the pilot adapter (1).
- Turn the arbor clockwise while pushing down on the handle. Keep turning and pushing down until the reamer is completely through the bushing (4).
- Remove the reamer and the pilot adapter. Turn the knuckle over in the vise. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the lower bushing.
- When reaming is complete, carefully measure the bore in order to make sure that the bushings are the right size.
- Clean all of the metal shavings from the bushings and the knuckle. Apply a light coat of lubricant to the bushings.
Important: Do not attempt to ream the knuckle bushings with a reamer that does not include a pilot adapter.
