The main spring pack will then be at its loosest. Do not jack up the vehicle on the differential.</p> <h2 class="faq-questions">Step 2</h2> <p class="indented_paragraph">Slip Stabiliser Spring over the wheel, or slide it in from behind. Place the widest part of the Stabiliser Spring on the axle, between the U-Bolts. Place one rubber block on axel between U-Bolts (first remove backing paper from double sided tape).</p> <p class="indented_paragraph"><span class="content-box-sub-heading">N.B.</span>Some vehicle axles are 5 to 10 cms off centre of the spring pack, in this case just centre SuperSprings on the spring pack so that there is an equal distance between the ends of the SuperSprings blade and main suspension shackles.</p> <img class="centered_image" src="/static/image/fitting_instructions/fitting_instructions_01.png"> <h2 class="faq-questions">Step 3</h2> <p class="indented_paragraph">The Stabiliser Spring will look like this:</p> <img class="centered_image" src="/static/image/fitting_instructions/fitting_instructions_02.png"> <h2 class="faq-questions">Step 4</h2> <p class="indented_paragraph">Ensure that any brake pipes and cables that could be squashed by the blade are out of the way.

Hyundai’s, Toyota 4X4 etc. where the spring pack is above the axle the installation is the same as above. On some Nissans there is a bracket on the chassis towards the front of the suspension, this must be removed using a no. 14 spanner.</p> <h2 class="faq-questions">Tools required;</h2> <ol> <li>2 number 17 spanners and/or 1 no. 16 spanner</li> <li>Jack</li> <li>G clamp</li> <li>Hack saw (when fitting Mazdas, Fords, etc).</li> </ol> <p class="indented_paragraph"><span class="content-box-sub-heading">N.B.</span>Please make sure that all clamps, rubbers and brackets that may impede the proper functioning and effectiveness of SuperSprings are removed.</p> </div> </div> <div class="span-44 last"> <br /> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <img class="centered_image" src="/static/image/footer.png" usemap="#footermap"></a> </div> <map id="footermap" name="footermap"> <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,185,111" href="http://www.supersprings.com" alt="Supersprings US" /> <area shape="rect" coords="830,0,1080,111" href="http://www.aussiesupersprings.com.au" alt="Supersprings AU" /> </map> </body> </html>
