  • Shocks

    I'm in the middle of replacing my stock rear shocks with adjustable QA1's. I ran into trouble b/c the new shocks didn't come with new hardware and the old shocks I can't get the bolt out of it b/c it has a cap like thing on it. What do I do???

    Thanks!!!!!!!

    Which bolt? Both the top nut and the bolt on the rear should come all the way off.

      I am assuming that you mean the bolt that holds the bottom of the shock to the axle. YOu need to get a bolt that it as large as the ID of the shock eye or the axle mounting point (whichever is smaller. Then, get 3 washers that are relatively big like the stock ones and one lock washers for each side. You will need:
      2 bolts (long enough to make it through the shock, past 3 washers, one lockwasher and the nut
      6 flat washers
      2 lock washers
      2 nuts ( [img]smile.gif[/img] )

      Make sure that there is a washer on either side of the shock and then on the backside of the axle mounting point.

      If you have any questions, you know how to get ahold of me.
