Shock Specifications, Part list : Prior to beginning installation use the following parts lists to verify that you have received all components required for installation. INSTRUCTIONS. Remove Factory Shock and Spring : 1. Remove wheels, making note of which side of vehicle they were removed from. 2. Unbolt lower shock mount from spring perch (Figure 3-1). 3. Unbolt upper shock mount from shock tower (Figure 3-2). 4. Remove shock and mount from vehicle (Figure 3-3). 5. Using a spring compressor, remove the coil spring. Follow the tool manufacturer’s instructions for proper use of 6. the spring compressor. Unbolt lower spring perch from control arm. Install Shock Tower Adapter (TCP COLVF-1X) The shock tower adapter must be installed before proceeding. Refer to the installation guide packaged with your adapter kit. Depending upon the year and model of your vehicle, you will have received one of the following kits: TCP COLVF-13, TCP COLVF-14 (shown), or TCP COLVF-15. Verify Suspension Travel Clearance Using a jack, position suspension at ride height. There should be approximately 12-1/2” between the surface the 17. stem contacts and the center of the lower crossbar. If the control arms are newly installed or the suspension has not been properly aligned, adjust the suspension 18. so that it is somewhat close to final alignment specifications. A digital protractor can be used on flat or ‘square’ features of the spindle to measure caster and camber. Tuning Front Suspension with Spring Rate (Drag Race) A drag race car should run the lightest front spring rate possible, without letting the shocks bottom out when making a pass. As a general guideline, lighter springs allow the car to easily transfer weight, and settle faster down track. Changing spring rate affects ride height and the rate at which weight is transferred to the rear tires.
