1935 to 1940 Ford Crossmember Kjt Installation Instructions

March 19th, 2009 · No Comments

1. Start by supporting the car on 4 jack stands. The car should be sitting on approximately the same angle as it does on the ground, or slightly lower in front.
2. Remove all the old front suspension components. Note that on the underside of the frame are the two rubber axle snubbers (or the holes for them, if they are missing) directly above the axle. Mark them for later reference.
3. We would recommend that at this point, you tack weld or clamp a temporary brace across the frame rails in front of the old crossmember as shown in Figure 1. This helps to maintain the rail dimension after the old crossmember is removed.

2005 Ford Front 6-8” Lift Kit Instructions

March 18th, 2009 · No Comments

Step 1. Before you remove anything off the truck, measure the pinion on the front and rear axle differential. Make sure to record this measurement as we will want to put each axle back to this angle after the suspension lift kit is installed. This is especially important for the front axle. Putting the front axle back to the same measurement will keep the stock camber and caster.
Step 2. Jack up the truck and place a jack stand under the frame on each side of the truck. Jack the truck up enough so that the front tires are just barely off the ground. Take a motorcycle strap and wrap the strap around the differential and to the frame. This will help keep the axle in the generalproximitywhile the factory suspension is removed and the 4 link is installed.

Remove rear tires, carpet in the rear section and the speakers. Use a plastic drop cloth to seal off behind the seats, so that the cockpit area remains free of fiberglass dust. Locate the “hat” shaped brackets circled in Fig 5. Draw a line straight back from each bracket so they can later be located in the same front-to-back location.

Installation of an OilGuard Bypass filter on an A3 TDI

August 17th, 2008 · No Comments

The filter is very compact and uses a one-micron filter element. The quality of the filter is top notch and mounts in the TDI very easily. The nice thing about this installation is it allows you to service the filter without having to get on your back or remove anything! I feel that for the TDI that this is the best bang for the buck. It cost’s a bit more than other bypass filters but provides the same level of filtration and the replacement filters are 1/4 of the cost and includes new o-rings and a filter element.
