Permatex® Anti-Seize Lubricant
DO NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
Permatex® Anti-Seize Lubricant should be used on coil-over threads to prevent galling. Failure to lubricate the
coil-over threads with Anti-Seize prior to making ride height adjustments will cause damage to your shock
absorber and will void any warranty. All ride height adjustments must be made with the vehicle weight
completely unloaded from the suspension. Please call QA1 Technical Support with any questions.
Stocker Star
Stock Mount shocks
QA1 Stocker Star shocks are designed to bolt into the factory shock mounting location on stock ride height vehicles. Shock
length should be verified if the ride height has been altered to ensure adequate shock travel. Refer to a repair manual for
shock installation for your specific vehicle.
Note:
The shock openings in the factory lower control arms may need to be
enlarged on certain applications to fit QA1 adjustable shocks (1967-1969 Camaro/ Firebird and 1968-1974 Nova).
Shocks with Spherical Bearing Mounts
Using a snap ring pliers, install a snap ring into one of the grooves in each shock eye followed by the spherical bearing and
the other snap ring. If pressing the bearing in, only press on the race of the bearing.
