lower eyelet of your new shocks. Special note: The new
bushings and sleeves are supplied with your new

base grease prior to inserting the new bushings and
sleeves into the new shocks. This will increase the
life of the bushings and will help prevent squeaking.

Special note: The new shock boots are not included

boots need to be ordered as a separate part #. If you
