I have my Bilstein 5100s to put up front. I also now have new springs, upper mount, etc. I want to get the new springs installed on the 5100’s then do a swap out of the old assemblies.
Part of the R&R instructions from the workshop manual, as well as what I see done on the various YouTube videos, is to mark or index the upper mount, spring and shock assemble when you are going to reuse those components. I get that this helps align these when putting them onto the new shock.
If I’m building the new assemblies from scratch, so I need to know the old assembly’s “indexed position?
PS. In case you’re wondering, I want to replace the old springs just because I can.
