Shocks Question....

[SILVER97LE]

Hoping you guys could help me out with my 98 Pathfinder 4X4 SE. I have a couple of questions about the shocks install -

1) What are the torque specs for the shock bolts.

2) The shocks came compressed. Do you have to install them that way then cut the wire holding compressed or are you supposed to extend the shock before the install?

3) Anybody know of any tips that I should know when doing the install? I am only doing the rear shocks, the struts will be coming soon.

Thanks for the help!

Front at 61-76 ft lbs
Rear at top 36-49

Cut them, extend, mount top, then raise bottom to eye of shock or extend shock, how strong are you?

Rear easy! Use a jack to lift axle up to shock mounting hole
