Fronts:
- Open the hood and remove the spindle nut, as well as the bushing and plates from the top of the the shock
- Remove the two bolts and nuts from the bar pin at the bottom of the shock.
- Pull out the old shock
- Put the new shock in place (the eyelet bushing and bar pin should already be in place, whether you did this, or they came ready to install)
- Fasten the lower bolts first (17 ft/lbs)
- Place the bushing plates and bushing on the top of the spindle
- Fasten the spindle nut (16 ft/lbs)

Rears:
- PB blast the crap out the top bolts everyday for about 2 weeks
- Remove the top bolts (if they break, drill out the broken bolts, and put new 5/16" X 1" grade 8 bolts in their place. You should be able to get these in through the small body access on where the shock mounts)
- Remove the lower shock mount nut
- Remove the old shock
- Put the new shock in place
- Fasten the lower shock mount nut (17 ft/lbs)
- Fasten the upper bolts. (16 ft/lbs)
