4 . Remove the front struts by first disconnecting the ABS wire and brake line(retain hardware) from the factory strut.. Disconnect the swaybar linkage from the strut. 3. Support the front hub and control arm assembly and remove the () struts bolts(retain hardware) that attach the strut to the spindle.. Remove the cap from the top strut nut in the engine compartment, then remove the nut and strut retainer. DO NOT REMOVE THE SECOND NUT. 5. Remove strut assembly from the car. 6. Disassembly Getting Started (IF USING BEARING UPPER MOUNT SKIP TO STEP 8) A IF USING BEARING UPPER MOUNT SKIP TO STEP 8 6. The upper strut mount provided in this kit has 6 bolt holes. Looking at the illustration you will notice A bolt holes are centered. Position A is used for this installation. Camber adjustment is done at the strut lower mount. A A 7. FACTORY SHOCK TOWER 7. Bolt the upper mount into the car positioning it centered in the opening using the bolt pattern location described in the previous step. The upper plate has a ledge to help position the mount in the opening. The upper plate has (6) holes. (3) are threaded and (3) are thru drilled. The long bolts go thru the upper mount to attach it to the lower mount. The short bolts thread into the threaded holes. Tighten all (6) down

5 8. Bearing Option A B A B B A 8. The upper strut mount provided in this kit has mounting positions. Centered and offset. Looking at the illustration you will notice A bolt holes are centered and B bolt holes are offset. Position A is used for a street driving alignment. Position B is used when a more aggressive alignment is desired. This adjustable upper mount along with the adjustment on the lower Strut mount provide more adjustment than the stock setup. Position B will offset the top of the Strut towards the engine Bolt the upper mount into the car positioning it for the alignment desired using the description in the previous step. The mount will be either centered or the center strut mount offset towards the engine. The upper plate has (6) holes. (3) are threaded and (3) are thru drilled. The long bolts go thru the upper mount to attach it to the lower mount. The short bolts thread into the threaded holes. Tighten all (6) down Install the Air fitting into the Airspring using thread tape. Remove the Adjuster Knob from the Strut shaft for assembly. Bolt the strut assembly into the upper mount (A), see diagram 0 for assembly order. 3 A. Torrington Bearing Race. Torrington Bearing 3. Torrington to Bearing Adapter. 9/6 Locknut Assemble components and install into upper mount tightening upper nut. Reinstall upper adjustment knob. Skip to Step com 5

6 Rubber Upper Mount Assembly. A Install the Air fitting into the Airspring using thread tape. Remove the Adjuster Knob from the Strut shaft for assembly. Bolt the strut assembly into the upper mount (A), see diagram for assembly order.. Lower Torrington Bearing Race. Torrington Bearing 3. Upper Torrington Bearing Race. Bearing Adapter (Flat Side Up) 5. Lower Rubber Isolator (T Shaped) 6. Upper Rubber Isolator 7. Washer 8. 9/6 Locknut 3 Assemble components and install into upper mount tightening upper nut. Reinstall upper adjustment knob.. Slide the lower strut mount onto the spindle reusing the Factory hardware to attach. NOTE: These bolts are torque-to-yield bolts. They only have a few adjustments in them before they should be replaced. Tighten the bolt to 60 ft/lbs and turn the nut 80º com

7 3. Assembly 3. Attach the PosiLinks between the strut and Sway bar using the 0mm Nylok Nut. Refer to diagram 3 for orientation. NOTE: There is a Drivers and Passenger Posilink assembly, refer to diagrams (3 and ) for proper installation.. The Posilink mounts with the stud on the Strut pointing forward, and the stud on the Sway bar pointing in. NOTE: Some vehicles have a 0mm sway bar linkage, some have mm linkage. The Posilink linkage provided in the kit has 0mm studs, T-bushings are provided in the kit for mm linkage setups. Install a T-bushing in each side of the swaybar hole, then install the Posilink in it and tighten. 5. Note: Image is viewing from front of vehicle. 5. Attach the brake line to the mount on the Strut using the Factory hardware com

8 6. Final Assembly 6. Slide the ABS wire into its mount on the Strut. 7. Route the Airline to the Air Spring. When hooking up the Airline be sure that you can turn the steering from lock to lock with out tugging on the Airline. This situation will eventually cause the line to leak. 8. Repeat previous steps on Passenger side com

9 Strut Adjustment Strut Adjustment 0- Single Adjustable Rebound Adjustment: How to adjust your new struts. The rebound adjustment knob is located on the top of the Strut protruding through the upper mount. You must first begin at the ZERO setting, then set the shock to a soft setting of 0. Take the vehicle for a test drive. -Begin with the Strut adjusted to the ZERO rebound position (full stiff). Do this by rotating the rebound adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. -Now turn the rebound adjuster knob counter clock wise 0 clicks. This sets the shock at 0. (settings - are typically too soft for street use). -If you are satisfied with the ride quality, do not do anything, you are set! -If the ride quality is too soft increase the damping effect by rotating the rebound knob clock wise 3 clicks. Take the vehicle for another test drive. -If the vehicle is too soft increase the damping effect by rotating the rebound knob clock wise 3 additional clicks. -If the vehicle is too stiff rotate the rebound adjustment knob counter clock wise clicks and you are set! Take the vehicle for another test drive and repeat the above steps until the ride quality is satisfactory. Note: One end of the vehicle will likely reach the desired setting before the other end. If this happens stop adjusting the satisfied end and keep adjusting the unsatisfied end until the overall ride quality is satisfactory com

10 Strut Adjustment p j g q y y Shock adjustment 0- Triple Adjustable Triple Adjustable: Step One: High Speed Compression -High speed compression adjustments are used in both street driving and track tuning. -Begin with the shocks adjusted to the ZERO high speed compression position (full stiff). Do this by rotating the high speed compression adjuster (large knob) clockwise until it stops. -Now turn the high speed compression adjuster knob counter clock wise 0 clicks. This sets the shock at 0. (settings - are typically too soft for street use. For typical street driving the high speed compression adjuster will remain at setting 0. Step Two: Low Speed Compression Low speed compression adjustment is what is typically felt during street driving. Take the vehicle for another test drive. -Begin with the shocks adjusted to the ZERO low speed compression position (full stiff). Do this by rotating the low speed compression adjuster (small knob) clockwise until it stops. -Now turn the low speed compression adjuster knob counter clock wise 0 clicks. This sets the shock at 0. (settings - are typically too soft for street use). Take the vehicle for a test drive. -if you are satisfied with the ride quality, do not do anything, you are set! -if the ride quality is too soft increase the damping effect by rotating the low speed compression knob clock wise 3 clicks. -if the vehicle is too soft increase the damping effect by rotating the low speed compression knob clock wise 3 additional clicks. -If the vehicle is too stiff rotate the low speed compression adjustment knob counter clock wise clicks and you are set! Take the vehicle for another test drive and repeat the above steps until the ride quality is satisfactory. Step 3: Adjust rebound according to Single Adjustable instructions. Note: One end of the vehicle will likely reach the desired setting before the other end. If this happens stop adjusting the satisfied end and keep adjusting the unsatisfied end until the overall ride quality is satisfactory com
