Rear Shock Installation Procedure:
A. Remove the existing shocks from the vehicle following all procedures in the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual.
B. Using the supplied stem mounting hardware, install the lower washer, lower bushing, and middle washer onto the shock stem.

the lower mount. Please refer to Figure 2 for the proper order of installation of the stem hardware and correct orientation of the
