1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLATION. KIT CONTENTS: QTY DESCRIPTION PART NUMBER 2 Front Spring Rear Spring Front Sway Bar S-F 1 Rear Sway Bar S-R 1 Hardware Kit HK SPRINGS 1. Installation of any Hurst Spring Kit should be performed ONLY by a qualified mechanic with significant experience in removal and installation of suspension springs. 2. Never work on a vehicle unless it is properly supported. 3. Never use an impact gun to remove or install strut main shaft components. 4. Any Hurst part number starting with 611 is a front spring, any Hurst part number starting with 612 is a rear spring. 5. All springs should be installed with the Hurst logo right side up, and all original isolators, dampers, etc, should be retained. 6. For MacPherson Strut front suspension - mark the upper perch in relation to the lower before disassembly. Once the springs have been installed, verify the orientation has remained the same. 7. With installation complete, always check (and adjust if required): Alignment - Camber/Caster/Toe Tire/Wheel to Fender Clearance Brake line Clearance & Strain Relief Wheel Speed Sensor Wires & Strain Relief 8. No bump stop modifications are required. During installation, any bushed pivot points MUST be torqued with the full weight of the vehicle on the suspension. This is to avoid bushing pre-load. Failure to do so can result in uneven lowering, and bushing damage. This is easiest to accomplish with a drive-on type hoist. 9. Special Tools are required for the installation of this kit. Please refer to the factory service manual for a complete listing of special tools required, as well as the full procedure for safely removing the springs.
