The Build – Part 9
Step 9 consists of building the turnbuckles. Pretty simple and straightforward, but do yourself a favor and READ the page before building. I saw 4 sets of turnbuckles and spent a good 15 minutes looking for 4 sets of angled ball cups…only to realize that the bottom 2 sets were the SAME THING…just built different depending on the rear motor configuration. Oi…

Build Notes:
All 3 sets of turnbuckles have a left and right side. Pay special attention that you build them that way.

Not all given lengths are correct in instruction manuals, but the Durango ones seem good to start with.
