Yikes 400 for literally a piece of metal? I get that it's contoured, shaped, and has the holes set for the bolts but yikes. Lesson learned. Anti rust for the rest of our lives!

Can you take a picture of your upper oil pan? Just curious to see what that shows

Here are some photos too associated with the project! What the old shocks looked like and the old bolts I replaced.

Hey everyone I just wanted to make this thread to hopefully help other people better who have had this same problem with these shocks or shocks installed in a similar way. When I encountered the problem of how to tighten down the nylock lock nut I looked up online in forums, youtube, and even...

thats awesome. I've been holding steady at 19,3. I just replaced my shocks too I wonder if that will help as well.

Ok people. This is how you tighten down the bilstein 4600s at the front shock. Pull down the rubber cover, put a rag around the shaft, put vice grips on it so as not to scratch the shaft and tighten it. Worked like a breeze. And now the grommet is thw same width as the washer

Tried trimming the allen wrench that was a disaster. I just took her for a spin. The nylock nuts didn't move. Could it be they're supposed to install like that? Just screw them on until it hits the nylon?

I read somewhere too that pressing down harder on top as you turn the lock nut might do it too?

Wait so they don't make shorter arm allen wrenches? It seems like this allen key thing is the only way to go unless I just use a non nylon nut

I tried my Allen wrench thing but the ones I have are too tall to slide in... ughhh

Anybody install the bilsteins 4600s before? I got the lock nut down and she's on the stem but doesn't seem to be getting the upper bushing to be approximately the same width as the upper washer as per the instructions. Weight is on the tires again

Boom!!!! After a quick reverse of the half inch frill (which not sure did anything) I just vucr gripped and wiggled like crazy and got her out. But look st that corrosion batman! On to clean that up and install thr shock and hope the rest go better!

I got it under other Jack's its sitting on and jack stands. I totally hear ya and appreciate the heads up. It was just a 1 more time before heading in to see if jacking it up a hair more from the front would relieve the bolt more

Yeah been trying variations of that. These may be 15 year old bolts that haven't ever been moved. Gonna try more tomorrow. So amazed how hard it's been to get out

It definitely released some pressure and the bolt is movable morenow

Did that. Might have to call it a night and get a half inch dewalt tomorrow

So remove my plastic cover and jack up under that?

Released that jack. Still trying to release her. Might neeec to go buy a half inch dewalt

I got the top ifnthe shock released if I release it here won't the car droop?

I have her jacked here along with further back to raise her up
