1. Before cutting or removing original wishbone, take accurate measurements from outer axle to a spot near the middle of the car. Record measurements, they are reference points.

2. Cut wishbone ball apart and insert threaded tube and tie rod end. Spread wishbone apart and install tie rod end in socket. Threaded tube should extend out of radius rod at 1″. Mark rod for later trimming. Check with reference points and mark both sides. Remove axle and wishbone as a unit.

3. Cut rod at mark and also in a 1/4″ wide strip, 3″ long and down the seam. Rod should now be worked with a hammer and anvil so that it fits the outside of the threaded rod.

4. Weld down the 3″ seam being sure weld penetrates to the interior threaded tube. Weld around the end. Do not just weld around the end, take time and do it right. Because welding can distort, it is a good idea to re-tap the tube 3/4″ SAE-NF. Install tie rod end and lock nut.

5. Splitting the wishbone will also angle the front spring hangers. These must be straightened by heating and bending.

6. Reinstall axle and adjust using reference points. At least 1″ of threads should be in tube for safety.
