Signature Series Post Installation Checklist
Suspension
Ensure front and rear swaybars have been reconnected
o
Ensure front and rear ride sensing actuator rods have been reconnected
o
Ensure all suspension and anti-roll bar mounting bolts were tightened with the
o
suspension compressed to the curb weight position.
Check ride height and alignment after driving the car for a few miles, as the
o
rubber bushings will cause the car to settle.
Brakes
Ensure all ABS sensor and Pad wear sensor plugs are reconnected
o
Ensure brake line grommet is properly seated on bracket. Cycle steering from full
o
lock left to full lock right (with the suspension compressed to the curb weight
position) and inspect for possible binding on the brake line.
After bleeding brakes, cycle pressure to the pedal and double check all bleed screws
o
and brake line connections for possible leakage.
Drive the car at low speeds for a few miles to check brake operation before
o
beginning brake bedding procedure.
During bedding do not thermally shock the rotors with aggressive braking before the
o
rotors have come up to temperature. Cracks on new rotors can form due to thermal
shock. Gradually increase brake pressures as instructed in the bedding procedure.
After bedding brakes re-torque wheel nuts to proper torque specifications.
o
After installation and bleeding is completed double check brake fluid level.
o
If vibration occurs during normal usage, check for abnormal pad wear deposits on
o
the rotor. Double check all fasteners and repeat the bedding process 2-3 cycles until
the pad deposits on the rotor becomes uniform.
Exhaust
During and after install, wipe off all assembly and shipping particles from the
o
exhaust. If dust is not wiped off, once the exhaust gets hot, the particles burn onto
the stainless steel finish and become permanent.
Ensure the exhaust tips on both sides protrude from the bumper evenly and are not
o
touching any body panels.
Apply anti seize to all assembly bolts to allow for ease of removal.
