could a average guy with pretty decent capablity to work on cars put them on. i just bought GC with tokikos and they are already put together but if anybody has time could they help me out and give me some detailed directions. my buddy can put them on but id have to wait till wends help me out!

 

Super easy in the back. Two nuts in the interior at the top, one bolt at the lower control arm.

Front, you have to take a ball joint loose. Lower is easiest for me. then remove two bolts under the hood for the top of the strut, and then the two bolts to remove and loosen the wishbone.

Easy peasy.

 

even easier in yhe front:seperate the shock from the shock fork. then u can snake it out and then unbolt the shock from the tower and remove it from the car. u have to do this anyway because u have to use the shock fork on the new sus.

 

If you're just swapping, then piece of cake. Just watch for rusted bolts ...

No need at all to loosen a balljoint....real simple, just remove shock fork LCA bolt, remove shock fork to shock bolt, take out fork, remove the two 14mm bolts under the hood, lower the assembly out. All rod ends/balljoints stay intact. If your bolts aren't rusty, then the car could be fully done in an hour. Oh yeah there are also a few various brakeline bolts on the shock.

 

thanks for the help guys. i got it done in little over 2 and a half hours. with a little lunch break.....dope!

 

Good job! So is the ride improved, or what?
