[QUOTE="Venom351R, post: 720906, member: 10407"] I just did this over the weekend and was going to write up a how to on it but I see one is already here so I'll just throw in some pics. These are for Strange 10 way adjustable shocks the install is the same but I'll also post pics of the correct bushing configuration to use on the shock. Place the car up on jacks stand or a lift. [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/TravisMcEwen05/Mustang%20Pics/uppershock3.jpg[/img] Remove the liner in the trunk exposing the shock tower and remove the top nuts. [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/TravisMcEwen05/Mustang%20Pics/uppershock2.jpg[/img] Remove the lower bolts on the shock [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/TravisMcEwen05/Mustang%20Pics/uppershock4.jpg[/img] Place the new shock into place [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/TravisMcEwen05/Mustang%20Pics/uppershock7.jpg[/img] Tighten the top nut until it compress's the bushing [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/TravisMcEwen05/Mustang%20Pics/uppershock8.jpg[/img] All done, lower the car and enjoy your new shocks [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/TravisMcEwen05/Mustang%20Pics/uppershock9.jpg[/img] For those doing the strange struts (and I'm sure its the same for others) this is how you do the bushing configuration. Place one the cap on the bottom, the cap has a hump on one side, that hump needs to be facing down [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/TravisMcEwen05/Mustang%20Pics/003-40-1.jpg[/img] Place one bushing on w/ the raised part of the bushing in the center facing up. Take the second bushing and place it so the raised section in the center is facing down so the raised sections are facing each other. Place the second bushing and cap on once the shock has been pushed back up through the shock tower [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/TravisMcEwen05/Mustang%20Pics/004-23.jpg[/img] Place the second cap on the top with the hump facing up.
