Figure 11 : Install of lower shock mount and ball joint


The flat side of the mount should be placed against the lower control arm. One

washer will be between the head of the bolt and the lower control arm, and the other will
be between the nut and the mount. The bolts will insert from the bottom going up. This
is best done with either a helper or a floor jack to raise the control arm assembly. Once
the passenger side is finished, we can re-assemble the lower control arm at the upright on
the driver side at the taper so that we can install the coil over just as we did on the other
side.


Figure 12a and 12b: Final tightening of lower and upper mounts


Once both coil overs are installed, tighten the upper shock mount at the frame.

The shock will want to turn while doing this, make sure that the bolt holding the shock in
place is parallel to the frame once it is tight and not at an angle.

Moving onto the rear of the car, you will notice that the upper mount is offset.

You will need to install them on both C5 and C6Z as shown below. They can go on
either way, but we feel this is the easiest way and gives the most room for suspension
components.
