HOW TO: Install Mopar Rear Tension Strut Kit


Rear Tension Strut Kit Mopar Part # P4510826




Stock VS/new


What do they do??

Higher durometer bushings virtually eliminates wheel hop under braking for improved suspension control.

Rating 1 -10 For Difficulty

2-3

Tools needed

Jack

1/2" Wratchet

Sockets
21mm Deep
19mm Deep
18mm Deep
15mm

14mm box end wrench

First Jack up rear end of car


Next Remove the Wheel using a 19mm Socket

Next remove the rear 21mm nut from the Tension Strut



I used a impact gun and didn't need to hold the Tension Strut. If you need to hold the Tension Strut you would use a 14mm Open ended wrench.

Once that nut is off take of the washer and bushing.


Next at the other end of the Tension Strut is the bracket for the E-Brake cable

Take the two nuts off 15mm



Once that is off take off the E-Brack bracket and move aside

Next Take off the two studs that hold the Tension Strut to the Chasis.
They are 18mm and you will need a deep socket.



Once that is done you can remove the stock Tension Strut. Repeat the proccess for the new Tension Strut. Torque the chasis studs to 70ft/lbs the 15mm brake line bracket to 250 in/lbs and the rear 21MM Nut to 70 ft/lbs.

Put the wheel back on and torque the Lugs to 95-100 ft/lbs.

Repeat for the other side.

Have fun.
