INSTRUCTIONS
1. Raise vehicle and support with stands. Remove both front wheels/tires.
2. Follow your service manual guidelines for removal of the stock front coil springs.
(Working with springs is dangerous and should only be performed by an experienced
mechanic).
3. With the stock front coil springs removed, support the a-arm with a jack.
4. Disconnect the top of the strut from the upper strut mount. Lower the a-arm until
you are able to let the top of the strut swing out of the wheel well.
5. Remove the strut mount retainers. Before doing this, draw a line around your
upper strut mounts. This will allow you to position your new upper strut mounts
correctly when we re-install them later.
6. Remove the factory spindles from the car and clearance them as explained at the
end of these instructions. Re-install the spindles and mount the QA1 strut with the
coil over sleeve installed. Screw on the jam ring first and then screw on the spring
seat ring. Note: There is a Left and a Right strut (part numbers on box end in L and
R). When installed correctly the adjustments knobs will point towards the front of the
car.
7. Place a thrust washer on the base of the spring adjuster seat, then place a
Torrington thrust bearing on top of the washer, and finally place a thrust washer on
top of the bearing (washer, bearing, washer).
8. Slide the coil over spring over the strut and down on to the washers/bearings on
the seat of the spring adjuster.
9. Place the ¼” plate on to the underside of the strut tower. You will note that one
edge of the plate has a small “V” cut in to it, the “V” faces the engine bay.
