TECH NOTES
1. ICON RECOMMENDS OPTIONAL BILLET DUST COVER SET (191011) TO PREVENT DEBRIS FROM
PACKING UP AROUND THE ZERK FITTING.
2. ALL ICON UPPER CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN ENGINEERED TO ALLOW FOR THE MOST POSSIBLE
CASTER, WHILE STILL ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE PROPERLY ALIGNED. NOTIFY YOUR
PROFESSIONAL ALIGNMENT SHOP OF THIS INFORMATION SO THAT MAXIMUM RIDE QUALITY CAN
BE ACHIEVED.
3. ICON DELTA JOINTS ARE PRE-GREASED FROM THE FACTORY. ICON RECOMMENDS GREASING
THE DELTA JOINT EVERY 3,000 MILES (OR EVERY OIL CHANGE). ADD NEW GREASE UNTIL ALL OF
THE OLD GREASE IS EXPELLED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DELTA JOINT ASSEMBLY, WIPE AWAY
EXCESS WITH A RAG OR SHOP TOWEL.
INSTALLATION
1.
Using a properly rated jack, raise the front of the vehicle and support the frame rails with jack stands. Ensure the jack stands are
secure and set properly before lowering the jack. NEVER WORK UNDER AN UNSUPPORTED VEHICLE. Remove front wheels.
2.
Remove the nut from the tie rod using a 21mm socket/wrench. Use a ball joint separator or a hammer to break the taper free from
the knuckle, then pull it free and away from the knuckle.
3.
Using a jack, slightly lift the lower control arm to prevent the arms from being at full droop.
4.
Remove the safety cotter pin if present and loosen the ball joint nut using an 18mm socket/wrench. [FIGURE 1]
5.
The spindle will need to be supported so as not to cause overextension of the CV's on 4WD equipped trucks or possibly damaging
steering. Using a ball joint separator, split the ball joint from the spindle.
