STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY
Attach two #3858 short ball ends to the #3855
steering rack and one #3858 short ball end to the
#3855 steering rack arm.
Slide the #6587 spring and the #3855 rack shim onto
the #6918 screw. Slide the screw assembly through
the bottom of the steering rack.
Attach the #3855 rack arm to the rack with a #4449
locknut.
Tighten down the spring until the screw is flush with
the top of the nut.
Make sure the rack arm is facing
the rear when assembled on the
rack: The ball end on the rack arm
and the ball ends on the rack should
be pointing in opposite directions.
BAG A
REMOVE THESE
PARTS FOR:
Step 1

BEFORE BUILDING
OPEN THE BAGS IN ORDER
The assembly is arranged so that you will open and finish
that bag before you go on to the next bag. Sometimes you
will have parts remaining at the end of a bag. These will
become part of the next bag. Some bags may have a large
amount of small parts. To make it easier to find the parts, we
recommend using a partitioned paper plate for spreading out
the parts so they will be easier to find.
MANUAL FORMAT
The following explains the format of these instructions.
The beginning of each section indicates:
1Which bag to open ("BAG A") and which steps you'll be
using those parts for ("FOR STEPS 1-3").
2Which parts you will use for those steps. Remove only the
parts shown. "1:1" indicates an actual size drawing; place
your part on top and compare it so it does not get confused
with a similar part.
3Which tools you should have handy for that section.
4In some drawings, the word "REAR" with an arrow
indicates which direction is the rear of the car to help keep
you oriented.
5 The instructions in each step are ordered in the order you
complete them, so read the words AND follow the pictures.
The numbers in circles are also in the drawing to help you
locate them faster.
6When we refer to left and right sides of the car, we are
referring to the driver's point of view inside the car.
7Occasionally you will see an upside-down triangle next to a
part. This indicates that more information is given about
the part next to the matching triangle near the text.
SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS
We are constantly developing new parts to improve our kits.
These changes, if any, will be noted in supplementary sheets
located in a parts bag or inside the kit box. Check the kit box
before you start and each bag as it is opened. When a
supplement is found, attach it to the appropriate section of the
manual.
