to be honest. If you are asking how to install it you should take it to the dealer.

Does it not come with instructions??? Seems to me to be a pretty simple install

Hey give him a break. Not everybody knows how to work on their cars. There was a point that I would have asked that question just to know that I do it right the first time.

As far as installing new shocks I havn't swapped mine but I'm guessing its just a swap, pull the old ones off and put the new ones on the opposite way you took the others off.

no instruction. ok i tried to pull it out but the round ball part just wont budge. how did you take it out?

Eazzy

iTrader: (8)

U dont pull the ball out ---U unscrew the stud the ball goes into

Eazzy

Its a 12mm by the looks of it

i only got these pair with nothing else. u cant unscrew the round part. you have to pull it out some how.
i already unscrewed the studs but the shock will no come out.

Well ---u got me by the a$$ ---The ball appears to be crimped into the socket ----Put a yell out to one of the performance nissan guys ---I even pulled my bottom off

Eazzy

And the bottom bracket was a biach to put back on again

i guess only dealer could install it then right.

Eazzy

First --I repeat ---Id ask one of the guys on the forum with Performance Nissan

I want to know myself---Generally a ball will pop out of a socket or has a slide lock on it

Shut this forum down. It's not needed. Actually, let's have all the forums closed. What's the point?

Poor guys asking for some input and he gets griefed. Thats what these forums are for aren't they? Wish I had these shocks but pricey.

Iz Bad ---I ran my mouth a little till I went out and disconnected mine and found that something is more than meets the eye. There are now 2 of us inquiring, One out of neccessity and me out of curiousity. Fock the dealer and maybe Fock Nismo for not sending a little paper work to help with the install.
Which I originally figured was just common sense.

just checked the service manual.

in bl.pdf page 86 it shows that removal is to remove the stud ball on the trunk lid and then the bracket on the rear section off and install in reverse order. Does not say if the ball comes out.

gl with it, hope that helped.

The kit should come with a new ball. I believe it is designed so that once you put the ball in it doesn't come out.
