Default RCA install question

How do you install front RCAs?
I have searched on the forum, i havent found an detail threads about how to instill them.
Is it just as simple as removing the two bolts on the bottom, then slap in the RCA then use the new hardware? If there is an threads out there but i didnt catch them, im sorry in advance.


Thank you,
-Matt.

the RCAs go on between the LBJ and the Spindle. Not much more to it than than.

It is important that you torque the bolts down to the correct spec for your RCA, as usually this is considerably higher than the stock torque. Doubly important for Negative Camber RCAs.

There are several threads on this. Before we give you more information we need to know what kind of RCAs you have and what year your mitsubishi montero is.

yep just those bolts to install the RCAs, but you will need to have an alignment done afterwards as the RCA will change the suspension geometry (as designed).
