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.
