BILSTEIN 5160 Series Reservoir Shock Absorbers are designed to fit your vehicle’s original shock
mounts with no modifications. With the exception of reservoir placement, the 5160 Series shocks are
installed in the same manner as a standard replacement shock.
Installation Procedure:
A. Remove the existing rear shocks from the vehicle following all procedures in the vehicle
manufacturer’s service manual.
B. A mount kit is included to allow the remote reservoir to be attached to the vehicle frame rail. This kit is
depicted in Figure 1.
C. Place the ¼” nylon retaining washer over the ¼” right-angle stud. Push the washer about half way
down the stud threads. The side of the washer with the larger opening should face away from the tab
on the stud. This is depicted in Figure 2.
