TheBlueNight has a home made video that he made with pretty complete instructions. I searched Koni video install on this site and it was the first hit.

Indeed, I used TheBlueKnight video as reference, got them on no problem, however I have a rattle in the front end now I'm trying to figure out.

I did have to replace the sway bar links, mine were rusted and broke when I tried to loosen them. Just a heads up!

*off topic* to OP
Next time you want to do a search, go to google and add ls1tech after your topic

OP: Google search actually works better than the forum search. just type in your topic and add LS1tech.com at the end...

But anyway.. I did a install thing back in the day. -About 1/2 way down.

Ok, I know I saw it somewhere, now I cant find it

What are the torque specs for the upper control arm castle nut, the 4 top shock mount bolts and nuts, and the two lower shock bolts? I do recall the sway bar being 17 lbs.
