Re: Bilstein Shocks for '63-'72

Front Installation

The fronts are straightforward. The only unusual part is that you need to remove the factory upper mounting stud. When installing the Bilstein stud you need to index it such that the flats are near horizontal before putting it in the frame hole. That is because you need to have an open end 15/16” wrench on the flats outboard of the frame while tightening the nut on the inboard side of the frame. The wrench locations in the picture attempt to show that. The outboard wrench will only fit in that horizontal position.
