Rear End Set-Up PDF Print E-mail

The pictures are of an 8 bolt rear end. However, the same procedures apply to smart tube rear ends as well.

1.First step in setting up your rear end is to put the set-up blocks between the rear end tube and the chassis. This will simulate ride height. (click on images to enlarge)

2.Next, set the rear panhard bar height. We recommend to start the outer panhard at 3" on the adjustable, 6 th hole from the top on the non-adjustable. Set the inner panhard mount in the 2nd hole from the top.

3.Once the panhard set, we can center the rear end in the chassis. Measure from the outside of 2X4 to outside of the torque arms. This dimension should be 11 3/8" to 11 7/16". It should be the same on both sides.

4.Next, square the rear end. Measure 9" from the front of the rear end tube to the back of the key stock.

6.Next, ensure birdcage timing is correct.
See birdcage timing section for further information.
