comatosellama Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Step 1: Cut the wishbone out of you old ea81 shock. I cut the metal circle twice, knocked that off, cut out some rubber, used a hammer to bash the metal back and stripped the rubber off Step 2: Take new strut (both sides have to be eyelets) and put it in a vise, clamp towards where you're putting this, metal is solid up there Step 3: Lubricate. Put grease everywhere, inside the eyelet on the wishbone. step 4: Take vise grips and grap the circle part very tightly Step 5: Work the tip of the wishbone into the hole Step 6: Hammer the wishbone in Finished product is attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 You get a set for more travel, lowering, lifting, or just replacing?When i lifted my hatch i found 4wd f-350 would work great for a 6" lift. I pressed out the bar pin from the old shock along with the lower metal bushing. Then greased them up and pressed them into the new shocks.
