❑Tire chocks ❑Torque wrench
❑Lug wrench ❑Grease gun
❑18mm socket and combination wrench
1. Place vehicle on level surface and place tire
chocks in front of and behind front tires.
2. Support rear of the vehicle on the jackstands
and remove the rear wheels (See Figure. 1) .
3. Place a floorjack under the differential and lift up
slightly to remove tension from the trailing arm
bolts. Make sure not to lift the vehicle off the
jackstands (See Figure 1).
NOTE: Keep floorjack under vehicle during
the complete removal and installation
procedure.
CAUTION: Do not remove both trailing arms
at the same time or the axle will rotate and
the trailing arm installation will be much
more difficult.

NOTE: Edelbrock trailing arms are fully assembled,
greased, and ready to install. Install new
trailing arms with the grease fittings facing
down. New high strength metric bolts washers
and nuts are included. We have also included
(2) 1/2” Grade 8 bolts and nuts (for use on the
front trailing arm mount in case the frame holes
have been enlarged).
1. Install the new trailing arm by locating the front
bolt first. NOTE: Spherical ball assembly goes
toward the front of the vehicle.
2. Place one drop of blue Loctite on clean threads
and torque the nut to 70 ft./lbs.
3. The trailing arm should then pivot smoothly on
the chassis.
4. Install the supplied 12mm rear bolt at the rear of
the arm.
5. Place one drop of blue Loctite on clean threads
and torque the nut to 70 ft./lbs. (See Figure 2).
INSTALLATION OF EDELBROCK TRAILING ARMS
6. Although Edelbrock Trailing Arms are pre-lubed,
you may want to finish your installation by
lubing the front and rear bushings with a grease
gun. Be sure to replace the dust caps on the
zerk fittings to prevent dirt and corrosion from
damaging the fitting. Teflon grease is
recommended to lube polyurethane bushings
and a high pressure rated chassis lube works
good for the special ball end of the arm.
Re-check all nut and bolt tightness after first
10 miles.
NOTE: To further upgrade your suspension,
use other Edelbrock suspension
products such as springs, shocks,
torque arm, panhard rod, sub-frame
connectors, strut tower brace, trailing
arm relocation brackets.
