NOTES:

  

 

Read All Instructions Before Beginning Installation

 

 

Installation of a Eibach Multi-Pro Coil-Over 

set should only be performed by a qualified mechanic 

experienced in the installation and removal of suspension componentry.

 

 

Use of a hoist

 is highly recommended and will substantially reduce installation time.  

 

Never work on or under a vehicle 

unless it is properly supported by safety stands and wheels are blocked. 

 

Never use impact wrenches or

 guns to install or remove shock absorber piston components, shafts and 

piston rod nuts. 

 

After installation

, it is always important to inspect and adjust the following if necessary: 

- Wheel alignment such as camber, caster & toe. 
- Tire and/or wheel fender clearance. 
- Brake line clearance and attachments. 
- Brake anti-locking and anti-skid system sensors. 

 

Alignment: 

After installation, you will need a full vehicle alignment to ensure proper tire wear and 

performance. 

 

Height Adjustment

 – Should be performed with the wheels completely off the ground and with the springs 

fully unloaded.
