• Start your QA1 GM coil over conversion by inspecting your chassis. Look for wore out bushings,
ball joints, ect. If anything looks suspect, replace it before continuing.
• Get started by taking a ride height (RH) measurement on both sides of the car (see figure 1). This
ride height measurement should be taken from the top of the wheel well opening down to the
ground. It is recommended to mark the wheel well opening as a reference point for later
measurements.
• Place the floor jack under one of the A-arms. Jack the car up so that a jack stand can be placed
under the frame. Let the jack down so that the frame sets securely on the stand.
• Remove the wheel and then the stock shock absorber. Remove the sway bar mount.
• Using the jack to support the A-arm assembly, loosen and remove one of the ball joint nuts. Use a
Ball Joint/Tie Rod separator to release the ball joint stud from the spindle. Slowly, CAREFULLY,
let the A-arm assembly down until the spring is free and can be moved.
• Remove the nut clips in the A-Arm that retain the stock shock.
• Next clean out the holes that the mounting bolts will go through. In some cases they may have to
be opened up slightly by drilling with a 3/8 bit or using a rat-tail file.
