Default Questions on installing LCA's

i have just got a set of UMI adj. poly/rod lcas. i have searched around here and various other forums and found a few good pointers on installing a PHB, but nothing really on the LCA's. is there anyhting that i should look for or do specifically? it seems pretty straight foward, but i just dont want to screw anything up. Ive bought the new bolt set, so im not too worried about breaking the old ones, but so i need loctite when reinstalling? also what kind of grease are yall putting on?

any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hello,
Thanks for choosing UMI Performance. When you install the LCA's do one side at a time, that allows the rear to not move. The poly end will be on the body of the vehicle to eliminate a lot of noise. And the rod end on the rear so you have your adjustments if needed (We ship ours out preset to factory specs). And about what type of grease to use?....Any type of marine grease as long as its non lithium (Royal Purple for example). Hope that helps if you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
Thanks
Brad

pumpkin,,you want the suspension to be in the loaded position when installing those, otherwise you will get some popping noise.
