The following steps should be performed on both sides of the vehicle:

5. Disconnect the upper sway bar end links and move sway bar off the mounts. See Figure 2 on

page 2.

6. Disconnect and remove the upper and lower shock mounts and remove shocks from vehicle.

7. Slowly and carefully raise the vehicle, by the frame, just enough to allow springs to be removed.

Remove springs and upper rubber spring isolators. See Figure 3 below.

8. Install the BILSTEIN provided upper spring isolator part # E4-XK4-Z022A00 in same position the

OE upper rubber isolator was in. Insert the threaded stem into the hole in the frame and thread

on the BILSTEIN provided locknut part # E4-MU2-Z035A00. Temporarily hand tighten.

9. Carefully raise the vehicle enough to install the BILSTEIN provided coil springs, using caution to

prevent damage to any of the ABS/brake lines. Install BILSTEIN provided coil springs part # E4-

FD1-Y488B00 so the BILSTEIN label is upright and legible. The coil springs have different upper

and lower end gaps and need to be installed in this orientation only! Verify the coil spring is

clocked properly in the indexed upper isolator. The spring should be centered on the lower

spring seat on the axle. See Figures 4-7 on pages 4-5.
