Everything seems to be in order. The wife professionally replaced most of the front suspension due to failure after 160,000 miles. I made the rear shock absorbers fit. I could probably do it in less time without removing the wheels. According to the manual, old shock absorbers must be drilled out and the oil drained before disposal. If your old shocks (like these) are full of gas and not completely deflated, you may not want to. You'll know they're full of gas by reading them or by holding them uncompressed. Another issue I have with the instructions is that they show pliers on the spindle to counteract the force of the wrench. Not only is this not often recommended, it is completely unnecessary; They are equipped with an Allen key to keep them from turning.
