INSTRUCTIONS
Notice: Failure to lubricate the coil over threads with anti-seize or equivalent prior to adjusting ride height
will cause damage to the shock absorber and will void the QA1 shock warranty. All ride height
adjustments must be made with the vehicle weight completely unloaded from the suspension.
1. Follow the factory service manual to remove the stock rear shock absorbers
and coil springs.
2. Check the underside of the upper rear shock mounting location on the vehicle
for debris where the t-bars will sit. These areas must be free of any
undercoating, dirt, rust or other debris to ensure the t-bar will sit flat against
the sheet metal.
3. Remove the upper mount from the shock. Mount just the upper shock mount
with t-bar to the upper mounting area on the car using the supplied 5/16”
flange bolts and flanged lock nuts. Tighten to 20 ft./lbs.
4. Now thread the top of the shock shaft into the upper shock mount that is
mounted on the car. Turn the shock until the shock shaft is fully threaded into
the upper shock mount and the adjuster knob on the bottom of the shock is
facing rearward. Keep the jam nut loose.
5. With the spring seat turned all the way down on the shock you can access
and tighten the jam nut at the top of the shock shaft to secure the shock to
the top mount.
6. Mount the u-shaped lower shock mounting bracket onto the vehicle. Install
the 1/2” washers and lock nuts. The brackets will mount perpendicular to the
axle tube. Torque the stud to 50 ft./lbs.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 on the other side.
8. Place the vehicle on the ground and check vehicle ride height. Adjust the
spring seat adjuster nut up or down the threaded shock body to gain your
desired ride height. Be sure you have lubricated the shock body threads first.
Once ride height has been set tighten the jam rings against the spring seats
using the supplied spanner wrenches.
