vise by the body of the shock absorber. The clevis
bracket must be reinstalled on the shock absorber
clamped in the vise using the clevis bracket.
(1) Install clevis bracket back on replacement
shock absorber and snug the pinch bolt to keep shock
from turning. Then using the clevis bracket, clamp
the shock absorber assembly in a vise, with shock
absorber in a vertical position (Fig. 85).
(2) Install the coil spring isolator (Fig. 96) on the
lower spring seat of the shock absorber assembly. Iso-
lator must be positioned on lower spring seat as
shown in (Fig. 96).
(3) Install
the
jounce
bumper
on
the
shock
absorber rod with the tapered end down (Fig. 97).
WARNING:
IF A REPLACEMENT COIL SPRING IS

FIRST FULL TOP AND BOTTOM COIL OF THE
SPRING MUST BE CAPTURED BY THE JAWS OF
THE COIL SPRING COMPRESSOR.
(4) Install the coil spring (with small diameter
coils down) and spring compressor on the shock
absorber assembly. Be sure bottom coil of spring is
correctly positioned on the lower spring isolator (Fig.
94).
(5) Install dust shield (Fig. 93) on rod of shock
absorber assembly.
(6) Install bottom washer (Fig. 92) on rod of shock
absorber assembly and the top of the dust shield.
CAUTION: The top and bottom shock absorber rod
bushings are unique to the position which they are
installed on the rod. When installing the bushings
on the rod, attention must be paid to their location
so they are installed correctly (Fig. 98).
(7) Install the lower isolator bushing and sleeve
(Fig. 91) in the shock absorber/upper control arm
mounting bracket. Install coil spring upper isolator
in mounting bracket (Fig. 91).
(8) Install the upper isolator bushing (Fig. 90) on
the sleeve and the shock absorber/upper control arm
mounting bracket.
(9) Install the shock absorber/upper control arm
mounting bracket (Fig. 89) on the shock absorber
assembly.
(10) Install the upper washer on rod of shock
absorber and position it over top bushing with the

IS
RELEASED FROM THE COIL SPRING.
(11) Install nut on rod of shock absorber assembly.
Install Shock Absorber Socket, Snap-On A136 or an
equivalent on end of shock rod to keep rod from turn-
ing (Fig. 87) Then tighten rod nut using a crowfoot
(Fig. 87) to a torque of 55 N·m (40 ft. lbs.).
(12) Relieve all tension from spring compressor.
After all spring tension has been remove from the
spring compressor, remove it from the shock absorber
assembly.
(13) Remove the clevis from the shock absorber.
