- Loosen lug nuts on the wheels to be removed.
- Safely lift the vehicle using a hydraulic lift or jack stands. Ensure the vehicle is stable.
- Дөңгөлөктөрдү алып салыңыз.
- Disassembly of Original Suspension:
- Carefully disconnect brake lines, ABS sensors, and sway bar links as necessary to allow suspension travel.
- Using a spring compressor, safely compress the original coil spring.
- Remove the top hat/strut mount nuts and lower suspension bolts.
- Carefully remove the original strut/shock assembly from the vehicle.
- Decompress and remove the original spring from the strut/shock assembly.
- Installation of Eibach Pro-Kit Springs:
