Shock spacers

It's easy. You compress the springs and the spacers come out. It lowers the car all around. I think the story was that in order to meet US bumper or headlight regulations, the spacers were installed to raise the car. You'll have to remover the shocks from the car to remove the spacers so it's also a good time to replace any bushings too. My car had 3 different sized spacers. The 2 in the back were different. Since most Panteras aren't square, it's was an opportunity for the factory to correct the ride height in my cars case. The car will look better at the original as designed ride height.

Thanks Korina, that's about what I figured. You say you compress the springs and the spacers come out, does this mean the shocks don't need to be disassembled to remove them?

I removed mine and smashed my finger in the process... In the front you have to remove the lower bolts from the bottom ball joint, the rear shocks come off easier. You will need a spring compressor tool. The springs have "keepers".... I did a pic story at this site.... I'll see if I can find it and send a link...Bill
