33-247724 – LEFT REAR

IMPORTANT:

PLACE CIRCLIP IN APPROPRIATE GROOVE TO ADJUST RIDE HEIGHT.

Use appropriate tools to move the circlip. Ensure that the circlip is fully seated in the groove after moving it (you should

be able to rotate it manually in the groove). Install the spring seat in the direction shown only. The circlip must fit

completely in the groove inside spring seat (A). Improper installation will cause permanent damage to the shock!

NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT**

0.67” lift**

1.33” lift**

2” lift**

** Ride heights indicated are typical. Actual ride height is influenced by which factory suspension the vehicle is equipped with

and its condition; optional equipment and accessories on your vehicle, and other vehicle modifications such as replacement coil

springs, wheel and tire combinations, etc.

Modifying/lifting the suspension to your vehicle may raise its center of gravity and may make it more susceptible to loss of

control and/or rollover, which may result in death or serious injury. We strongly recommend that you offset the loss of rollover

resistance as much as possible by increasing tire track width, and that you equip the vehicle with a functional roll bar and cage

system.

Wear seat belts and shoulder harnesses at all times, and avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.

E4E4-WM5WM5-Y489 489A00 MOUNTING IN INSTRUCTION IMPORTANT! Installation of shock absorbers requires special tools and expert knowledge. Accordingly, installation of all BILSTEIN products must be performed by a qualified suspension specialist. Always use a chassis hoist for the installation of BILSTEIN products and make certain that the raised vehicle is securely attached to the hoist and/or supported to prevent the vehicle from slipping, falling, or moving during the installation process.
