Fully Assembled view of the 350Z/G35 mantis kit is shown for the right side of the car
- 1- Upper control arm
- 2- 350z knuckle assembly
- 3- Lower control arm assembly
- 4- Tierod assembly
*Bolt check regularly, take note of the orientation of all the components in this view*
*do not exceed the rod ends adjustments, each rod end should have a minimum of 1 to 1.5x the diameter of the joint. (example, a 3/4" rod end needs to have approx. 3/4"-1 1/8" inside of the arm at a minimum, this is 12-18 threads)
-ACKERMANN PLATES see image for the ackermann plates. The kit will come with zero Ackermann plates installed and include +2/-2 options that can be changed out. Ackerman is the difference in angle measured at full lock. Example- with 0 ackermann plates installed the angle of the car will be 60 on the inside wheel, and 60 on the outside. *please note that alignment settings, rack position and other variables can effect the ackermann curve resulting in differences from chassis to chassis, make adjustments according to your individual setup*
BUMP STOP BOLT- using this bolt, adjust the length to limit the angle. This is to avoid contact from the wheel to control arms or other components
