How to install Threaded perches onto a rear shock., step by step. Options

[Aaron Cox]

First begin by lifting car off the ground, and securing with jackstands.
with the [parking brake on, put the jack under the rear wheel you are working on....

1. undo the retaining nut, visible in the rear trunk.
2. Pull rubber mount and support and washer.
3. slowly lower jack until you are able to rotate the rear shock out toward the rear of the car.
NOTE - if you have a rear sway bar, you must undo the droplinks to allow the trailing arm to lower enough., also, if engine is in the car, you would need to pull axles, or at least pull the bottom shock mount bolt)
