Honest Eibach Review Needed

I did my own.

I only did the rears myself (easy part). Then I paid to have the fronts done.
The shop ended up separating my drivers side CV and had to replace it. Do you have pictures of the interferences?

By the looks of your pictures, it’s possible that I may have pulled the cv shaft from the hub, which I didn’t think would be a concern.

I did my own, and if I remember correctly, there is a nut that holds the CV shaft into the hub, so it shouldn't just pull out. If you grab the CV shaft is there movement in that outside joint? Looks like it could be broken/separated.

Has anyone installed these yourselves? I ordered the same E86-35-035-01-22 kit and am experiencing interference with the outer cv’s. I have a 22 3.5 ecoboost and ordered them per Eibach recommendation.

I have these on my 24’ ecoboost and never had any issues…knock on wood. But I had a shop install mine. I did install the rear shocks myself though. They definitely shouldn’t be coming in contact with any of your suspension components.

Looks like you could have pulled the cv out of the axle shaft end. I would remove it from hub and make sure its installed all the way.

It did move but I struggled to move it far

I agree. From what I’m finding you can’t just put them back together. They need rebuilt or replaced.

Yea. Same thing happened to mine. Luckily the shop paid for their mistake. Good news is. It wasn’t expensive to replace surprisingly.

Pull the boot and inspect. Might be able to slide it back together. Clean grease off and evaluate. Might save your CV axle, and if you don’t you already need to replace it…
