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. Installing the threaded coil over sleeve on to the strut:
We want to note a few things about this. Many struts have a small ring spot welded
to the top of the strut housing, this will hinder the installation of the coil over sleeve.
If your strut has this ring you will need to remove it from the strut. This is done
easiest with the strut removed from the spindle. They are generally installed with
three small spot welds, simply take a punch and hammer and knock the ring off of
the strut housing, it will pop right off. Use a file to remove any sharp edges or weld
splatter from this area.
