NOTES: Read All Instructions Before Beginning Installation
•
Installation of a Eibach Multi-Pro Coil-Over set should only be performed by a qualified mechanic
experienced in the installation and removal of suspension componentry.
•
Use of a hoist is highly recommended and will substantially reduce installation time.
•
Never work on or under a vehicle unless it is properly supported by safety stands and wheels are blocked.
•
Never use impact wrenches or guns to install or remove shock absorber piston components, shafts and
piston rod nuts.
•
After installation, it is always important to inspect and adjust the following if necessary:
- Wheel alignment such as camber, caster & toe.
- Tire and/or wheel fender clearance.
- Brake line clearance and attachments.
- Brake anti-locking and anti-skid system sensors.
•
Alignment: After installation, you will need a full vehicle alignment to ensure proper tire wear and
performance.
•
Height Adjustment – Should be performed with the wheels completely off the ground and with the springs
fully unloaded.
