Coil-Over Shock Assembly:
1.
Using a snap ring pliers, install a snap ring into one of the grooves in the lower shock eyelet followed by the spherical
bearing and the other snap ring. If pressing the bearing in, only press on the race of the bearing.
2.
Install the ½” ID sleeves into the bushings in the upper shock eyelets.
3.
Screw the aluminum jam nut (shoulder up) and the spring seat adjuster nut (shoulder up) down to the last thread - NO
FURTHER. Now is a good time to lubricate the threads of the shock body with
Permatex® Anti-Seize Lubricant
.
4.
QA1 highly recommends using the QA1 thrust bearing kit (part #7888-109) for ease of adjustment. If the thrust bearing
kit is used, coat both washers with
Permatex® Anti-Seize Lubricant
. Install the stainless steel spring seat washer, then
the bearing, then the second washer. If the thrust bearing kit is not used, coat one side of the stainless steel spring seat
washer with
Permatex® Anti-Seize Lubricant
.
