Shock Replacement

1. Remove the shock and note the spring preload
distance (see Chapter 2 – Spring Adjustment, page
2.40).

ring until the spring is loose. If needed, use a spring
compressor to compress the spring far enough to
remove the spring retainer.
3. Remove the spring and spring retainer from the
existing shock and install components onto the new
shock.
4. Install the spring(s) and spring retainer.
NOTE: The spring retainer gap should be 180°
from the end of the spring upon installation.
5. Tighten the spring adjustment ring to set the preload
distance noted in Step 1 (see Chapter 2 – Spring
Adjustment, page 2.40).
6. Reinstall the shock onto the vehicle and torque new
fasteners to specification.
