Install both front C-hub assemblies in the front lower arms by performing the
following steps.
1. Place the driveshaft plastic cap into the front axle outdrive slot. Insert the
C-hub assembly into the end of the front lower arm as shown. Align the hole
in the bottom of the C-hub and holes in the arm.
2. Slide a #307220 pivot pin through the aligned holes. Make sure the flat
spot on the pivot pin is toward the bottom.
3. Thread and tighten the #901304 (SB M3x4) set screw in the bottom
of the C-hub until it is tight on the pivot pin’s flat spot. Be very careful
not to overtighten the screw, as the threads may strip in the
composite C-hub. The C-hub assembly should move freely.
4. Mount the #302096 front shock tower to the front bulkheads
with two #902306 (SH M3x6) screws.
5. Mount two #960030 M3 nuts to the rear of the front
shock tower using two #902310 (SH M3x10) hex screws, using the
holes shown.
6. Mount two #303240 balls to the rear of the shock tower
on the same screws, against the M3 nuts.

Assemble the TWO front C-hubs by performing the following steps.
1. Insert two #302290 bushings into the C-hub upper and lower holes.
Install the bushings from the inside of the C-hub as shown, with the flanges
facing into the C-hub.
2. Insert the steering block assembly into the C-hub, passing the driveshaft
through the oblong hole in the side of the C-hub. Insert the left steering
block assembly into C-hub marked L3, and insert the right steering
block assembly into C-hub marked R3.
3. Pass two #902312 (SH M3x12) screws through the bushings,
and thread into the top and bottom of the steering block.
The steering blocks should move freely.
