When putting on the rear suspension, what is the best order to do it in?
Is it best to bolt on the front pivot point and then bolt that onto the car? Should I install the shocks at the same time, or install the arms and then the shocks? |

1. Install the shock into the car and attach top nut loosely.
2. Install the outer 'cup' onto the trailing arm. 3. Slide the trailing arm over the axle shaft (if that's still attached to the transmission). 4. Slide the inner pivot into place, and lift the outer 'cup' into place and attach the bolts loosely. 5. Tighten the inner pivot nut. 6. Attach the shock loosely. 7. Install alignment shims. 8. Tighten outer 'cup' bolts. 9. Install brakes & axle nut & wheel. 10. Lower the car and tighten the axle nut & the shock bolt. 11. Raise the car, remove the wheel & install the cotter pin. |
