    FORM #9909.03-07132017 PRINTED IN U.S.A. PAGE 1 OF 14 Superlift 4” Lift System for 1998 – 2009 FORD RANGER 4WD with Torsion Bar Front Suspension INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION Installation requires a professional mechanic. Prior to beginning, inspect the vehicles steering, driveline, and brake systems, paying close attention to the track bar, suspension link arms and bushings, anti-sway bars and bushings, tie rod ends, pitman arm, ball joints and wheel bearings. Also check the steering sector-to-frame and all suspension-to-frame attaching points for stress cracks. The overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition; repair or replace all worn parts. Read instructions several times before starting. Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they install. Read each step completely as you go. NOTES: A special puller tool is required to load / unload the torsion bars. The tool is available separately from Superlift (#9635). A similar tool is available from Ford or the Kent Moore Tool Group in Roseville, MI (Phone: 800-576-7375, Fax: 800-345-2233). Both Ford and Kent Moore use part number T95T-5310-AR. If your vehicle is equipped with vacuum operated hubs: Ford states that several other special tools are needed; refer to Steps 4, 6, 16, 17, and 18. Most professional installers will have these tools or an equivalent. Ford suggests that these factory front axle components be replaced every time the front hub assembly is disassembled. Although we have found that if the parts are in good condition and carefully removed, they can be reused.

  • 4-Wheel Disc Brakes – Cheap and Easy By: Charles Goin
    4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES – CHEAP AND EASY BY: CHARLES GOIN The Following Tech Tip was brought into being after a laborious and intensive study on my part. It all started with the realization that the Isuzu Impulse (RWD) was a direct descendant of the Isuzu I-mark, which, of course, was a direct descendant of the Opel Kadet "C". Now most of this story I had already known. But, when I found out that the tooling for the Isuzu rear-end was also passed down and had been used in all of the small RWD Opels from the GT and Manta it grabbed my attention. Then I heard Roger Wilson at Roger's Opel Engineering had converted the entire rear end into a GT and had used the GTs center support and torque tube in the process. Though this had required a great deal of work on Roger's part, it at least had confirmed some of my suspicions about the compatibility of parts between them. After hearing about the work involved in doing the entire rear end, I thought except for a slightly higher ratio (3.91:1) the only good thing about the Impulses' rear was the disc brake set-up. So why not at least check and see how hard it would be to swap the rear discs onto a stock Opel rear end? After some under-the-car inspections at my local U-Pull-It I decided it seemed easy enough to do. This is where the story gets good. After going back and forth from the yard to get tools (which are a slide hammer, 8mm Allen wrench, 10mm & 14mm sockets, 8mm, 10mm & 14mm Crescent Wrenches, 10mm line wrench, socket wrench, screwdrivers and a good hammer) I finally removed the Impulse's brakes (it is easier and not much more expensive to buy from a regular junkyard).

  • Installation Instructions Part Number Labels Care/Cleaning Tires
    Installation Instructions Part Number 23333846 Note: Please read the following instructions carefully before mounting the wheels on the vehicle. Labels Your application may require a new tire inflation pressure and mass label. Be sure to use the correct replacement tire inflation label for the tire/wheel combinations. This label is provided as a guide for tire inflation pressures, and information for vehicle mass calculation. After installing the recommended TPC Spec (Tire Performance Criteria Specification) tires, please place the label on the vehicle. The new label should be located within the red box, over the top of the original tire label found on the door jam. To locate the label within the red box use the upper and left hand edge of redline as a guide. When properly placed the new tire label will obscure the original tire information, GM recommends that the surface that the label is to be applied to be cleaned with a suitable solvent (50% iso-propyl alcohol, FS 1062 hi-flash naptha or equivalent) and dried with a clean cloth. The surface temperature should not be less than 65°F (21°C). Peel the liner from the backside of the label being careful not to touch or contaminate the adhesive by allowing dirt or any foreign material to come in contact with it. Carefully align the label to the receiving surface, press firmly and smooth out. Care/Cleaning Use soap, hot water and a 100% cotton cloth to clean and polish your new wheels. If using a wheel cleaner, be sure to select one that will not harm the wheel surface.

    M:\Product Information\264-318\Docs\264-318_Supplemental Instructions.doc Created by Michael Grant on 11/17/2008 4:44:00 PM Revised by Michael Grant Page 1 of 2 1 Supplemental Information & Instructions 2 for 3 264-318 Wire Wheel Conversion Kit 4 MGA 1500 with Drum Brakes 5 About This Kit 6 Owners have been converting disc wheel MGAs to wire wheels for decades. Many started off with the 7 front, which is easy. You need the appropriate splined hubs, knockoffs, and the brake drums. When they 8 get to the rear, it gets more complicated. The entire MGA wire wheel rear axle housing is narrower, and 9 the axles are 7/8” shorter than those fitted to cars with disc wheels. This was done to compensate for the 10 rear wire wheel hubs, which take up more room. If they had not made the axle narrower, the wire wheels 11 would sit out too far, and your tires would rub up against the inside of the fender. The solution for many 12 owners was to buy an entire MGA wire wheel rear axle. That is getting harder to do, and when you can 13 find one, they are not necessarily cheap. That is where the Moss Wire Wheel Conversion Kit comes in. 14 We have had special splined hub adaptors (1k) made that bolt to the rear brake drums. These have been 15 engineered to bring the wire wheels and tires back toward the center of the car, so you don’t have issues 16 with fender clearance.
