Video of shock in stall???

[Retired 2012]

Is there a video of a shock install front and rear for the 2015 F3S?
Need some assistance to change them out next week.
Thanks in advance for your assistance....

I find that the Spyder owners don’t do a lot of videos.

Its harder to video than it is to do / Seriously,,, it's not difficult at all..

I think Len and Brahm posted a video of installing the Elkas on an F3 some time ago. You might check out Len's/Pitbull FB page.

That's a fact!
Only major problem I could see is if you've had the frame bracket recall it could get a little cumbersome.
Front's are a breeze.

This is the video referenced above. Doesn't show a great deal of detail but gives you some idea:

Shocks arrived

Elka arrived about 20 minutes ago, hope to put them on tomorrow or Friday.
Never installed shocks before, but I hope it all goes well.

Let you know after it's done.

I did the rear myself after the frame reinforcement bracket was installed - bracket covers the two holes for easy top access to top shock bolt/nut. U can still get to top bolt of shock underneath with a socket extension - just a little tougher and time consuming for one person. So much easier if you have someone on the other side, and to adjust jack height to get bolt/shock holes to line up on installation.
