Tech Note 1: Kit Components
TK4204 Includes:
QU94010 Bolt
QU98013 14mm Metric Washer
QU92005 14mm Metric Lock Nut
S9975 Anti-Seize, MSDS
S9978 Threadlocker, MSDS

Tech Note 2: Apply Anti-Seize and Threadlocker
Apply Anti-Seize to the Shank and Threaded portion of the Bolt that will be inside the Bushing, but Do Not apply S9975 Anti-Seize to the bolt threads that will engage the nut. Apply 242 medium strength S9978 Threadlocker to the nut threads before installation.

Tech Note 3: Wait to Torque
Do not torque the axle beam pivot bolt until the truck weight is fully on the axle. If you torque it down with the axle beam hanging, excessive twist will be put on the rubber bushing when the weight is back on the axle, which will shorten the life of the part. Hang a note on the steering wheel to remind you to do this before the vehicle is driven!
