| FILE UNDER LOVEJOY FRONT INSTALLATION NOTES Be sure that there is sufficient clearance between tires and absorbers, and that steering mechanism will not interfere with strap or absorber, when in maximum turning positions. If tires hit absorber, shorten turning radius on the side that hits, or both sides, if necessary. If strap interferes with the drag-link or radius rod, position axle bracket and axle clamps so that there is clearance. SEE INSTRUCTIONS ON INDIVIDUAL INSTALLATION SHEET ENCLOSED WITH THIS SHIPMENT. REAR INSTALLATION NOTES Be sure that electric and gas lines are out of the way before drilling holes in frame. Where instructions call for the moving of exhaust pipes, to clear absorber, this may usually be done by bending them in towards center of car slightly. (A small jack or bar is very useful for this purpose) if they have to be moved more than a half inch or so, special instructions will be given.
