Installation
‰ 1. REMOVE SHOCK ABSORBERS
 Completely remove the rear shock absorbers per the
factory service manual instructions for your vehicle.
 If shock absorbers will be re-installed, remove the
bar pin from the upper shock bushings. HINT: A
hammer and punch may be useful for removing
bar pin.
 Inspect upper shock absorber mounting surface
for any dirt or debris. If necessary, thoroughly
clean mounting surface until completely free of
debris. HINT: A sanding or grinding wheel is use-
ful for removing any stubborn material.
‰ 2. REMOVE VEHICLE EXHAUST
IMPORTANT: It will be necessary to remove and
modify the vehicle’s exhaust system in order to install
the Cross-Over Shock Mount.
 Inspect vehicle exhaust and locate the point at which
the tail pipe can be disconnected from the rest of the
exhaust system. HINT: The factory exhaust can be
disconnected between the catalytic converter and
muffler by removing the U-bolt clamp. Aftermarket
exhaust systems may provide a more convenient
disconnect point further down the tail pipe.
 Disconnect the tail pipe from the exhaust system per
the factory service manual instructions for your vehicle.
‰ 3. INSTALL CROSS-OVER SHOCK MOUNT
TO VEHICLE
 Determine whether rear upper shock mounting
holes in chassis require metric or standard bolts.
HINT: Cross-Over Shock Mount will be installed
using either metric M8 x 30mm (H) or standard
5/16” x 1-1/4” (G) mounting bolts, depending on
the application. Both types of bolts are supplied,
but only one will thread easily into the original
mounting holes.
IMPORTANT: Trial fit metric and standard bolts in
mounting holes first to avoid cross-threading during
installation.
 Place a 5/16” Split Washer (J) and 5/16” Flat
Washer (I) on the appropriate metric (H) or stan-
dard (G) mounting bolts. Apply anti-seize lubricant
to bolt threads.
 Position Cross-Over Shock Mount against the
chassis. Align holes in mounting flange with origi-
nal upper shock mounting holes.
