Mustang Bilstein Strut and Shock Kit V6/GT 2005-2010/GT500 2007-2014 Installation

Bill shows you how to install a Bilstein B6 HD Strut and Shock Kit on your 2005-2010 GT or V6 Mustang or your 2007-2014 GT500 Mustang.
This full Bilstein damper kit includes two 36mm B6 Heavy Duty front struts and two 46mm B6 Heavy Duty rear shocks, and it will provide superior handling for your 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 or 2010 GT or V6 Mustang or 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 or 2014 GT500 Mustang, as well as a predictable and well balanced car. This new found performance will be accompanied by an exceptionally comfortable street ride.
Bilstein tuned the struts and shocks to handle the occasional track outing, as well as street duties. Upgrading springs will boost handling performance even further but the B6 HD struts and shocks will also work with stock springs.
To learn how to install these struts and shocks on your Mustang, watch our install video for Bill's step-by-step demonstration!

I have watched several installation videos and this is the most informative. Especially pertaining to the strut and strut mount comparability. Thanks, well done.

[@cloudbreakmd]

Thank you. One thing if note though... I was able to get rear shocks out without dropping sway bar very easily. I just jacked the differential and used an extension.

[@nelagordon24]

Bilstein mentions in bold letters never to use an impact drill to tighten the fasteners and also the top nut for the front suspension should not be fully tightened until it’s under load (wheels on the ground).

[@APC9906]

Awesome video

[@jaydoe5571]

Hey man can you post how to change motor mounts

[@chrisboydston1305]

On the back shocks how important is it to replace the bushings on the top part of the shock?

[@BrettsGarage]

The GT500 mounts look much easier to install than the 11-14 ones. The 11-14 is recessed down and it's very difficult to get a wrench down there whilst stabilizing the shaft of the strut.

[@tdogg9466]

What type of impact drill is that? Need that instead of my one with a cord

[@nastyscorp]

Is this same tutorial useful for MK7 Fiesta ? with Bielstin B6.

[@timn2391]

I now own this exact car that you installed these struts on in this video. I have been drag racing the car, I purchased some rear drag shocks for the car from you last year and I need to know if I purchase front drag struts do they have to be for a gt500? Since I have gt500 front strut mounts?

[@MrAlejandro4325]

My struts make a clunk noise when I hit bumps, the whole assembly is new including the mounts, do I just need to tighten the bolt on the strut rod? Or Do I need a rubber insulator where the bottom of the struts meet the coils

[@Termina88]

what are the parts numbers for the struts and shocks on this vid?

[@waltertomaszewski1083]

Doesn't this alter the geometry of the suspension?

[@rickross6390]

so you can use 2005 to 2010 rear shocks on a 13 mustang ?

[@Mchaker]

Whats that nut at the bottom of the front strut do?

[@miguelena40]

My mustang have 94,000 miles with the factory shocks and one inch lowered springs ., Am I have to change the springs with that miles or just the struts ? My budget is not really good now . What do you sugest ?

[@whitfieldjack489]

what is the part number for these struts it is not listed at all i did call cj but can not get the answer do anyone knows what is the part number for the struts

[@whitfieldjack489]

would it fit v6 2012

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

No paint on rear axle??!

[@redbuilt]

When I went to loosen the nut to remove the old spring from bilsteen a the threaded screw spun aswell? How do I remove/ replace the top nut on strut with out the rod spinning?

[@bodrie4]

I have koni str.t rear shocks and they didnt come with lower or upper rear bushings. Do i reuse the factory lower bushings by cutting or pulling them off ?

[@billtumas9642]

Yes you can reuse the stock bushings.

[@ddmiller101]

So you can run 2011-14 lowering springs with any 05-10 shock/ strut and gt500 strut mount

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

Yep

[@trevorsellers6536]

so sense it's the same thickness at the top, do I even need the strut mount for my 2014 v6? like just buy the shocks and struts without the gt500 strut mount?

[@Zerogivengarage]

+Trevor Sellers you would just need to make sure you get 11-14 specific ones

[@mcgerry1543]

Are the GT and V6 struts the same? Or are they different

[@Ahennem]

The GT500 mounts have enough camber adjustment for the lower springs?

[@Zerogivengarage]

This car was aligned to spec after the install but you can use camber bolts if needed.

[@arcorob]

Help !!! I just received my b12 kit. The strut says the bilstein has its own bumps stop (nothing under the boot) but the eibach spring that came with it says add the bumpstop and boot (would go above the blue boot) ...which do I listen to ?

[@arcorob]

Just FYI for anyone watching, you do NOT use the included bumpstops for the front that comes with the springs ...its incorporated on the Bilstein strut

[@maxd6200]

@@arcorob You're the only person I've found online that has that answer (saw your post on a couple forums). Just FYI : thanks a lot, 2 years after I'm glad I could find that info !

[@arcorob]

@@maxd6200 Glad you found it...and just FYI...2 years later that kit is still amazing....I also added the GT500 control arms and I am running Michelin Pilot sports...talk about hugging curves ? WOWO

[@GA08GT478]

Would a 1.5 inch drop front and rear be too aggressive for these dampers?

[@Zerogivengarage]

+GA08GT That is just slightly past the recommended drop so you should be fine.

[@GA08GT478]

+Bill Tumas Thanks Bill!!

[@eliarhernandez2769]

What is the link for it cant find it

[@Powerwhee-S63TU4]

is it crucial to lower sway bar? can you wiggle out the bolt without the use of that power ttool

[@DylanDunford]

Marius Mateescu I hear you don't need to. Did you find out for sure? I'll be installing mine next weekend.

[@AB-cy4wl]

***** How'd it go for you? Its my turn to do it now lol!

[@DylanDunford]

Alex T Easy work man. Installing just the rear shocks I did in a parking lot. no need to lower the sway bar.

[@AB-cy4wl]

***** Alright man thxx

[@POSSUM3K3]

What spring compressors do yall use?

[@Zerogivengarage]

We use an OTC 6494 now, that was an old one.

[@charlesdowell4505]

I’m confused about which models and years geesh

[@gore21best]

How did u keep the strut assembly in place with a 5mm?

[@KAG717]

the rear bushings you installed look a lot larger and I am having some trouble with my rear bushing not being large enough for the rear shock. where did you get that bushing at?

[@Zerogivengarage]

They were included with the shocks
