TOOLS REQUIRED
FRONT SHOCK INSTALLATION
3. Remove front stock shocks.
3A. Remove the 3 nuts that secure the stock shock assembly to the vehicle at the upper support. DO NOT
remove center nut; doing so will release the spring from the stock assembly and could result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH!
3B. Remove the (2) nuts connecting the shock to the lower control arm.
3C. Disconnect both steering tie rod ends at the spindle steering arm for removal and installation clearance.
3D. Disconnect upper ball joint at the knuckle for removal/installation clearance and carefully remove OE
shock assembly.
TIP: Use a large pry bar to control the upper control arm from springing upwards when disconnected from
the steering knuckle. Disconnect any brackets that fasten wires or lines to the steering knuckle to prevent
damage. After the knuckle is disconnected from the upper control arm, restrain the free movement of the
knuckle to prevent damage to wires and lines. In some cases, if the steering knuckle is not controlled, the
driveshaft might pull out from the driveline and release oil.
