LSOH S10 bump steer kit instructions for prep

So this is what you get out of the box:
I recommend taking the kit all they way apart to paint it rather than taping it off. You will have to disassemble it to put on thread locker and
anti lock paste too.
Here is some pics I took before paint. The welds are VERY nice. Everything fits up square and has tight tolerances so there is NO slop!

---

Was very impressed with this bend. No kinks or anything. It is a VERY tight bend and this centerlink is pretty beefy too.

---

First thing i did was take everything apart. Sprayed the stuff i planed on painting with brake cleaner and then roughed it up some with scotch
bright pads.
Here is the center link taped off ready for paint. You want to tape off these spots pictured because these are tight tolerance areas for
bushings and hiem joints:

---

Here is a picture of the hiem joints. Note that ones are the right are standard thread while the ones on the left with the bulkier jamb nuts are
reverse thread. This is so you can pop lose the jamb nuts and turn the bars to adjust the toe. This eliminates dropping one end of the tie rod
to turn in or out the tie rods (these are standard 3/4 heims for anyone wondering).

---

Also note that the ones on the left in this picture with the larger lip are for the spindle insert. These ones allow for more misalignment the
the other ones.
Here is everything painted and ready to be put together!

---

First things first, you will need these 2 compounds to assemble the kit correctly. Some sort of thread locker and anti seize paste.

---

I assembled the outer rod end setups first. Make sure to put thread locker on the stainless cap bolts! Get these as tight as you can in the
vise. You can go back later and snug them up once they are on the truck so they won't spin on you.
Then applied anti seize paste on the rod ends and assembled the tie rods:

---

Make sure to run these all the way down to ensure that anti seize reaches all the threads:
Then the outer ends:

---

Repeat the other side and this is what you have: (yes that is anti seize on that tie rod and yes I was pissed)
Now on to the center link. I recommend finding some plates or pieces of wood so you can press in the bushings without marring the piss out
of them.

---

Pressing it together with the vise. Make sure to get these pretty close to perfect so the press in easy.
All pressed together:
