Installing a leveling kit on your car can be a tricky task, but it’s one that’s important for keeping your vehicle in good condition. However, before you start the installation process, it’s important to unplug the power steering so that you don’t accidentally damage it while you work.
When to Unplug the Power Steering
When installing a leveling kit, it is important to unplug the power steering. By disconnecting the power steering, you will ensure that the vehicle stays level while the leveling kit is installed.
What is a Leveling Kit?
A leveling kit is a device that helps to level a car by using the weight of the car and the force of the motor to push and pull on the suspension.
There are many different types of leveling kits, but all of them work in the same way. The kit includes a wheel weights, a mount, and an alignment tool. The wheel weights are attached to the mounting plate, and the alignment tool uses the weight of the car and the force of the motor to push and pull on the suspension. This will help to level the car.
How to Install a Leveling Kit
Installing a leveling kit on your car can make driving much more enjoyable, and can even improve stability while driving. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully when installing your kit, as improper installation could result in ruined equipment or even injury.
Here are some tips to ensure a successful leveling installation:
1. Make sure the surface you are working on is clean and free of obstructions.
2. Verify that all of the car’s bolts and screws are tightened before beginning installation. Accumulated vibration over time can loosen screws and bolts.
3. Remove any excess material below the wheel well using a carving tool or chisel (if necessary). This will give you a cleaner surface to work on.
4. Center the leveling kit onto the vehicle’s frame and secure it with the provided hardware.
5. Drive the car around for a few minutes to allow the kit to settle into its new position. Once settled, tighten all of the hardware securely.
6. Level your car again by gently rocking it back and forth from side to side at least ten times each way (the more you rock, the better). Use a level or ruler to check against the provided markings
