you will need two bump stop bushings from your mn12 poly kit and two over the upper are bushings from the same kit. this may not work if you used them :eek: and a torch

any way crawl in the trunk and grab the liner from the front corner this way you don't have to pull any clips out. Take off all three nuts now go cycle the key and while the car is airing up sit on the back of your car once you feel the car start to drop in the rear hit the air ride switch

now you have plenty of room to pull off the shock mount.

pull it off and now the fun part :fire:

i didn't have a torch so i stuffed some paper towels in the center of the old mount and wrapped them around the rubber piece with the metal bushings that had separated from the mount. then soaked them with lighter fluid and lit them on fire.

way about 10 minutes may have to relight till the rubber is burnt out of both of them.

now cool them hit them with some spray paint

grab the bump stop bushing and stick it on top of your shock angled side up smear some poly grease on it.

put the metal piece back on top shove it back through the hole


grab your arm bushing some grease and the washer for the top

put the smaller side down on top of the mount add the washer then tighten every thing back up



now shop vac up some of the dust that's hiding behind your carpet

now install cold bevrage into mouth
