ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Use care not to damage coil spring coating during spring assembly. Damage to coating will jeopardize its corrosion protection.
NOTE: Left and right springs must not be interchanged.
NOTE: If coil spring has been removed from spring compressor, proceed with next step, otherwise, proceed with step 4.
1. Place coil spring (part number tag end upward) in compressor lower hooks following manufacturers instructions. To ease shock reassembly,
rotate coil spring around until upper coil (1) ends at straight outward position from Compressor. Proper orientation of spring to upper mount (once
installed) is necessary.
2. Position compressor upper hooks over coil spring following manufacturers instructions.
3. Compress coil spring far enough to allow shock installation.
4. If separated, install upper mount (1) onto coil spring (2). Match step in upper isolator to end of spring coil.
