afco installation help
afco installation help can somebody please tell me how to install the afco coilovers on the front. how do i install the bearings. I can not find any instructions on installation. any help would be greatly appreciated. Its a 2001 fbody the coilovers are DA for the front.
Are you talking of the thrust bearings for easy adjustment with the spanner wrench? If so, sandwich the ring with the roller bearings between the 2 flat rings and put that underneath the spring itself on the shock perch.
the other part that i can not load is a small black ring that clips on the bottom of the front shock but I believe that it is just extra because it already has one on it. Now for the thrust bearings I do not have a spanner wrench, will I be able to adjust them with out the spanner wrench. Also what setting do I need to put them on. I ordered them form Madman and I will be calling monday to get their adjustments but for the time being what is a good adjustment.

Ok I finally got the picture to load. what is the black piece just an extra part and how to install the bearings. Which of the 2 blue pieces is the top and which one is the bottom. On the bearings how many are used for each side. Sorry for all the questions but this is my first time installing coilovers. Thanks for the help.

These pics I took should help some.. I can't remember what the snap ring is for, it is probably just extra. The small bag with the extra bearing and ring you don't need. For the thrust bearings a spanner wrench is the proper and easiest way to turn them, talk to Madman and see if he'll send one because you should have got one. There should be 6 rings total in that thrust bearing baggie. Take 2 flat and 1 with roller bearings built in it and sandwich the one with the bearings built it between 2 flats, same for the other one. The thrust bearings go below the springs on the spring perch.
Good initial adjustments would be to compress the springs about 1/3 of the way up for the fronts. Compression and rebound settings should be set to the middle for both. I believe there is like 22 compression clicks (bottom black **** for both) and 38 rebound clicks (top black circle piece on the shaft for the fronts, and top black **** for rears)
