Speedtech B Body Rear Coilover - Manual (Page 3)

The vehicle should be on a level surface before you start.
1. In a couple short hours you can update your Impala SS or B Body Caprice
with your new Speedtech Performance coilover brackets and shocks. We
recommend you inspect all of your car's suspension prior to installation of our
parts, such as bushings and trailing arms which may be worn and could cause
adverse effects. Replace parts as necessary. Now is also a great time to upgrade
to our Articulink rear trailing arms and adjustable rear sway bar.
2. Jack up and properly support the vehicle's frame on sturdy jack stands.
Remove the rear wheels if needed for extra room to work. With the rear axle
supported remove the shocks. Carefully lower the rear axle to the point that you
can remove the coil springs.
3. The Speedtech coilover bracket is designed to slip over and bolt on to the
existing shock bracket. Note that for determining left and right sides, the shock
mount tabs are located inward.
4. Attach the new conversion bracket to the factory shock mount bracket. First
bolt
the 1/2 x 1 ¼” bolt, (2) 1/2” washers, and 1/2” Nylock nut through the original
hole where the factory shock bolt used to be. Be sure Speedtech bracket fits
snug up against the factory shock bracket before tightening.
