IMPORTANT!
Installation of shock absorbers requires special tools and expert knowledge. Accordingly, installation of all BILSTEIN
products must be performed by a qualified suspension specialist.
Always use a chassis hoist for the installation of BILSTEIN products and make certain that the raised vehicle is securely
attached to the hoist and/or supported to prevent the vehicle from slipping, falling, or moving during the installation
process.
If you choose to install any BILSTEIN product without the necessary special tools, expertise or
chassis hoist, you
may subject yourself to the risk of serious bodily injury or death. If you elect not to use a chassis hoist, at least
make sure the vehicle is on level ground, that all tires on the ground during installation are blocked to prevent movement,
and that adequately secured safety stands (jack stands) are used to support the chassis. NEVER get under the vehicle
until you have checked to make sure all of these steps are performed.
CAUTION!!
Before disassembling the front suspension, refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s Service Manual for
proper procedures. The coil spring is preloaded and must be compressed with a spring compressor
to release load before the upper mount is disassembled. Failure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
procedures may cause serious injury or death, and may damage the vehicle.
Instructions for assembly of front shock absorber module:
