Eibach Stage 2 coilover install questions

[Shaun Harlan]

Not really struggling, just trying to figure the easiest way to get this done. It just seemed to make more sense to me to remove two bolts from the LCA and unbolt the shock than to remove all of the steps 1 - 12. I was just trying to see if anyone had justification for going through all those steps. Always pays to learn from other peoples experience and thoughts.

The lower control arm method is the easiest and quickest way.

Has anyone encountered a problem with CV separation going the LCA removal route? Also, the workshop manual recommends to replace the LCA nuts & bolts, has anyone done this? I'm about to install some front coilovers myself, and I'm a bit leery about deviating from the Ford procedure for the strut R&I...

Anyone got the factory torque specs? I found them on here somewhere when I installed strut spacers.

New coilovers going in this weekend so I'm gearing up. Don't let me forget to pick up a 36mm socket!

I believe the specs are on the installation document that comes with the Eibach kit. I had to google for the instructions.

For sure, I got the Bilstein 6112s which has specs for the strut fasteners in the instructions. Found the info for the rest of the components in the shop manuals thread. ?

I had found this prior to installing my Eibach's.

Is the axle nut a 36mm? I read It was a 35mm.

Anyone know the right size?

That seems to be the common method. I have seen one vid where they removed the two LCA bolts and it just seemed so much easier with less chance of CV problems. Made sense to me.

can you send a link to the video?

can you send a link to the video?

Sorry Joe. It's been 4 years and I don't have the link. I do remember it being on youtube if that helps.
