Is this supposed to be like this?

Post by rc10absuer »

I installed my sway bar and bought the pins for the shocks but they dont fit flush with the arms, they stick out about 1/8 inch, am i supposed to file them down or is that just how they sit? thanks Josh

Makes them easy to remove the next time you want to fiddle with the shocks.

Exactly. If you need to take the shocks off to change springs, oil or anything else, it's better that there is still something to grab onto with a pliers.

you are also missing the screws that hold those pins (don't file them, be proud to be gay, not that there is anything wrong with that :lol: )

hahaha everyone, actually i ahve the grub screws to hold them i just didnt put them in cause i wasnt sure if the rods were correct. after a little though ill just leave them be since this is a runner. and my rods arent gay, yours are!! :P actually i have black adjustables but they are to long and mess with my camber, on on the hunt for some original titanium turnbuckles that i can match with my new set of white rod ends. Thanks Josh
