THUREN FABRICATION 2009-2023 RAM 1500 Rear Control Arms User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the provided instructions for Thuren Control Arms designed for 2009-2023 Ram 1500 trucks. It's important to install these arms one side at a time to avoid axle roll. The document also highlights the correct direction of the zerk fittings and specific torque settings for installation. I am familiar with the process and am happy to answer your questions about these control arms.
  • Do I need to jack the truck up to install control arms?
    Can I remove control arms from both sides at once?
    Which way should the zerk fittings face?
    What is the torque specification for the 16mm bolts?
    What should I do after completing the install?
1. Pre-Assembly
You do not need to jack the truck up, or remove the wheels, to install Thuren Control
Arms. Park on level ground and use wheel chocks on the front and back side of the wheel on
the side you are working on.
• To help remove the OEM arms, and to help get the new arms in, you can roll the tire back and forth
a bit to make the process easier. This helps install the hardware too.
When following these instructions, it is essential to install the control arms on one side at
a time. Never remove control arms from both sides of the chassis while there is weight on it.
Doing so could cause the axle to roll, putting you in danger.
• Retain OEM hardware for installation of Control Arm mounts.
2. Install Control Arms
• The Zerk grease fittings on the upper arms should be facing downward and the grease fittings on the
lower arms should be facing upward.
• Install the all hardware with the bolt head on the outside, and nut inboard of the joint.
3. Final Spec
• Torque 16mm Bolts to 215 ft/lbs – All Control Arm bolts.
• Fasten E-Brake cable clamp to box mount on center of driver side lower arm.
• Grease joints after install.
