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. Using the supplied eye-ring bushings for the lower mount, install the Bilstein Shock Absorber in the
original location and attach the lower mount. Please refer to Figure 2 for the proper order of installation of the stem
hardware and correct orientation of the eye-ring bushings.
C. Install the upper bushing, upper washer, and lock nut. If a chassis hoist has been used, be sure to lower the
vehicle such that its full weight is on the suspension prior to fully tightening the fasteners.
D. Tighten the lower mount fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual torque specification. Tighten
the lock nut on the stem until it bottoms out and torque to vehicle manufacturer’s service manual torque
specification.
