INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

#20189

Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the

finest sets of traction bars on the market today. Whether

it be strictly street or professional competition, Lakewood

Industries has the proven engineering it takes for all

racing applications.

NOTE:

For best overall performance we recommend removing

the factory stabilizer bar (if equipped) when installing

these traction bars. If stabilizer bar is retained, inner

corner of traction bar mounting bracket may need to be

filed to provide adequate clearance on some applications.

This will not weaken the traction bar in any way.

WORK SAFELY!

Installation of traction bars requires working underneath

vehicle and should only be performed one side at a time.

USE EXTREME CARE AND CAUTION WHEN WORKING

UNDERNEATH VEHICLE. Never get near or under vehicle

until you are confident that it is safely supported and will

not move or fall from its raised position. DO NOT USE A

BUMPER JACK.

1. Place vehicle on solid level surface such as a garage

floor to insure safe installation.

2. Place wheel blocks or wedges in front of and behind

both front wheels to prevent movement in either

direction.

NOTE: ONLY WORK ON ONE SIDE AT A TIME.

3. Carefully place floor jack under rear differential

housing. Be careful not to damage seal or

companion flange shield with jack.

4. Lift rear of car up with floor jack and place auto-

motive approved support stands under frame in front

of rear wheels far enough forward so that traction bar

installation will not be interrupted and the wheels do

not touch the ground. Lower floor jack to set vehicle

on support stands.

5. When you are confident that vehicle is secure, raise

differential housing up approx. 1" with floor jack.

Remove rear trailing arm bolt (one side only). If bolt

binds while removing, raise or lower differential housing

with floor jack until bolt can be easily removed.

6. Determine correct bar (right or left) for side you are

working on (when mounted properly traction bar will

be parallel with frame and snubber will align directly

under frame).

7. Attach rubber snubber to front of traction bar as

shown using lock washer and nut (supplied). Tighten

securely.

8. Place traction bar in proper position as shown. Align

trailing arm bolt hole, rear end bracket bolt hole and

traction bar bolt hole. Install 1/2" or 12mm bolts with

self locking nut (supplied) and secure only finger

tight. Your car will either use the 12mm x 90 bolts or

use 1/2"-20 x 4-1/2" long bolts.

9. AT THIS TIME, REPEAT STEPS 5 THRU 8 TO

INSTALL OPPOSITE SIDE.

10. When installation of both traction bars is complete,

lower and remove floor jack to gain easy access to

factory G.M. axle snubbers located at front top of

housing bracket near rear wheels.

NOTE:

PERFORM STEPS 11 AND 12, ONE SIDE AT A TIME.

11. Remove factory axle snubber by prying out of

bracket. Attach rod end bracket in original snubber

location as shown using 7/16" bolts, lock washers

and support plates (supplied) and tighten securely.

12. Assemble adjustable link using one rod end and jam

nut on each end as shown.

13. Attach link assembly to rear end housing rod end

brackets (previously installed) using supplied spacers

on both sides of rod end. Secure with 1/2-20 x

2-3/4" bolt and self locking nut (supplied).

NOTE: DO NOT

ATTACH ADJUSTABLE LINK TO

TRACTION BAR BRACKET AT THIS TIME.

14. After both link assemblies are attached to the rod end

brackets on the rear end housing, carefully remove

support stands and lower vehicle to the ground. You

will need car on its own weight to adjust snubbers.

15. Swing traction bar up until air gap between snubber

and frame is approximately 1/8", then adjust link

length by turning rod ends in or out until lower rod

end will align with bolt hole in welded bracket on

traction bar. Attach with 1/2-20 x 1-1/2" bolt and self

locking nut (supplied) and secure only finger tight.

(Repeat for opposite side).

NOTE: WE RECOMMEND AN 1/8" AIR GAP AS A GOOD

STARTING POINT. GAP CAN BE ADJUSTED

TO SUIT YOUR DRIVING REQUIREMENTS

(SEE TUNING TIPS).

16. With proper traction bar snubber clearance and all

bolts in place, raise vehicle, place on support stands,

and tighten ALL bolts and nuts securely.

17. Remove support stands and lower vehicle to the

ground. This completes the installation.

It is usually not necessary to weld any of the factory

housing brackets or axle tubes, but it is strongly

recommended for added strength and dependability.
