Tips for Installing Steeda Adjustable Bump Stop Kit and Rear Shock Mounts

[wildcatgoal]

Sometimes instructions don't include enough detail. Here's some tip-a-roos for installing the Steeda Adjustable Bump Stop Kit and the Steeda Rear Shock Mounts (I installed the 12mm for Pro-Action Adjustable Shocks).

Not noted in the photo, I used some anti-seize on the outside part of the fancy nut that seats into the bearing. Don't know if that was a good idea or not, but... that's what I did.


I hope I did these right... given I'm tryin' to be all helpful 'n sheeet.

Great how to, with photos! Same Products used on the T1 20 car

Thank you Team Steeda!

How far down should the bumpstops be placed on the shaft? Or does it matter.

Good if you keep the rear stop, rubber o-ring and dust boot at the top. The boot will nestle into the shock mount keeping the shaft clean.

For front, not sure it matters all that much since the boot doesn't attach to the bump stop.

Nice Nick! I need to get these for my car, too. Such a huge improvement over stock.

Push them up just like you see in the picture of the shock mount before installing. Doesn't matter where you leave them when installing, though... once you drive the car and go over a big bump they'll seat themselves.

Any differences in the driving experience after these 2 parts?

Actually, yes. There was a subtly bounciness that seems to have alleviated. Suspension in the rear feels a little bit more... lacking good vocab word... but less "shocky"? Like hard bumps with lots of suspension articulation are "smoother".

But mostly the shock mount is STRONGER and allows the shock to move a little with the suspension reducing bind. The bump stops... mine were mutilated with various suspension changes/updates/tests so having new ones is nice.
