this area. If the axle is heavily caked with dirt or grease, use
Brakleen to remove the worst.
3. Using 40-grit medium sandpaper or a pneumatic grinder,
sand the 6” area until nothing remains but bare metal. We

rocking in any direction. If the bracket rocks, sand or grind off

Adding a Protective Spray Paint Coating
To prevent steer axle corrosion, we recommend you spray paint
around the base of the bracket.
1. Using any enamel-based spray paint, paint around the base
of the bracket and over the welded section. Paint all bare
metal around the bracket completely.
2. Once the paint is dry, we recommend that you paint all
exposed metal a second time.
