Did mine recently....
- Dust Boot/Bumper (55240) - Slides onto the shock shaft first. This is held in place by shaft shelf that is preinstalled.
- Bushing shaft (55323) is installed half way into Big Bushing ( 56218 ). There is a stopper on the inside that will not allow you to go to far.
- Upper Mounting Bracket (55336 or 55337) - push the big bushing with bushing shaft installed into the bottom of the bracket. It does not click, but is held in by force.
- Upper Small Bushing (56217 ) - Push into the upper part of the bracket. I remember mine being loose. Make sure it is in correctly. The bushing shaft will only go in one way. The upper bushing also has a stopper. I had to maneuver the bushing shaft in between the two bushings so they both held correctly. They probably will not be bottomed out on either bushing.
- Shaft Nut (55040B ) - You'll have to push down on the whole assembly pretty good in order to get the nut started. On one shock I was able to get it done with only hand tools. The other shock required an impact wrench. The shaft just kept spinning and had to use the air tool to finish it off.
