• Any time you are working under a vehicle, be sure to use the proper jack
stands and tire chocks to prevent any shifting or slipping of the car.
Never use a jack only to support the vehicle while changing shocks.
• Inspect shock brackets or mounting points before installation to make
sure they are not broken or bent.
• Do not attempt to disassemble these shocks. Return damaged shocks
to EIBACH SPRINGS for any necessary service or repairs.

Shock Instructions
and Safety Tips
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Any time you are working under a vehicle, be sure to use the proper jack stands and
tire chocks to prevent any shifting or slipping of the car. Never use a jack only to
support the vehicle while changing shocks.
• Inspect shock brackets or mounting points before installation to make sure they are
not broken or bent.
• Do not attempt to disassemble these shocks. Return damaged shocks to Eibach for
any necessary service or repairs.
USE THE RIGHT SHOCK FOR YOUR VEHICLE
• Use EIBACH shocks only for the applications for which they are listed. Each shock is
specifically tuned for that vehicle’s weight, suspension geometry, and other
characteristics.
• Compare original shock mounting style and hardware with your new shocks before
starting installation. If original hardware is not reusable, it should be replaced with
OEM quality and style hardware.
• Shocks are tuned to vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation for tire pressure, not
necessarily the max inflation pressure listed on sidewall of tire.
• The OEM spring perch will have to be removed from the OEM strut assembly and
installed onto the Eibach Pro Truck Sport Damper.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
• If you are uncertain of proper shock installation procedure, please consult
appropriate service manual. Torque all fasteners to vehicle manufacturer’s specs.
Note: On Post Mount shocks, finger tighten nut to achieve zero clearance between
the retaining washers and the bushings, then continue to tighten approximately 5-6
turns to achieve proper pre-load. Bushings should be slightly bulged. Secure with
Jam Nut. On some vehicles, nut may bottom out on stud before 5-6 turns, which is
proper for those applications.
• OEM mounting hardware may be either standard or metric. Make sure you have the
proper tools before starting. Do not interchange hardware. Use new mounting
hardware provided with your shocks, and re-use original mounting hardware in all
other locations.
• Eibach shocks have a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge and may come with a
restraining strap, which holds the shock in a compressed position. To ease most
installations, leave the strap on until you have secured one end of the shock, then
cut the strap and quickly guide the other end of the shock into position as it expands.
Strap must be cut before some installations, such as when strap goes around post.
• Wire ties are provided to secure the shock boot to the shock body. On some
installations (especially where the shock must pass through a hole in the lower
control arm), it is necessary to put the wire tie on after the shock is installed.
• After installing shocks and before driving vehicle, check for clearance of exhaust,
brake or gas lines, electrical wiring, etc.
• After installation, drive the vehicle cautiously for the first few miles to develop a feel
for the improved handling and ride quality. After 10 miles, inspect installation, re
check torque on all fasteners, and verify adequate component clearance.
• When installing rear shocks, install with the dust boot facing down to allow moisture
to escape. Failure to do so may result in sediment and buildup around the seals
causing premature failure of the shock.

Installation
Notes
1. Park vehicle on level surface and set emergency brake. Raise and support the vehicle
with safety stands. Refer to factory manual for proper location of safety stands
2. Power washing your chassis will make the installation cleaner. NOTE: Never work on
or under a vehicle unless it is properly supported by safety stands.
3. Loosen and remove the OE shock per the factory recommended removal procedure.
4. Installation of the Eibach Pro Damper shock should be done in the reverse order of
removal.

Installation
1. Ensure that the Snap Ring is fully seated in the snap ring groove
(you should be able to rotate it manually).
2. Install the spacer ring if included in the orientation shown, making
sure the snap ring is fully seated into the groove on the bottom side
of the spacer ring. Improper installation will cause permanent
damage to the shock.
