Default What order do i install!!!!!!!!!!!Please help

I just received LCA 's and relocation brackets, a Torque ARM and 3-point subframe connectors.

What order do I install these so i don't end up taking things apart twice(or more)

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have to drop / take off the TA to put on the three point subframes.

1) Take of the TA
2) Install one subframe, put on the corresponding LCA and bracket
3) Do the same for the other side
4) Install the TA

Why would you have to take off the TA to install subframe connectors? I've never heard of this.

Mind you, that may be the best order, but I couldn't say. You really shouldn't have to take off the TA to install the SFCs, though.

I only said that beacuse of the three points. I've never installed a three point subframe, just what I thought I had heard at some point.

Here is what NOT to do. Don't take both LCA's off at the same time and don't take the TA and a LCA off at the same time. I don't think the order matters but just do one thing at a time. Obviously do the relocation brackets and the LCA's at the same time.

First your LCA relocation brackets
Second your LCAs
Third your SFCs
Fourth your TA (if you have the relocation kit for that)

Thumper - that car has a relocated mount for the TA. The order of install on the SFCs and TA will be partially dependant on which TA it is (stock mount location won't make any difference on order - relocated would require installing SFCs then TA).
