Orange County CAF's: up to no good

I feel it. Truck read 99 at lunch. Ive made the executive decision to leave early and hit happy hour! Good luck with your last hour

 

alright everything is done but i cant get these fucking rear shocks in.. it's like the bushings are too thick.....

 

Pictures of the issue?
I think when i did mine I went post top first then bottom mount. The bolt and sleeve were very snug with the bushing though, I needed a mallet to beat it into place

 

i cant get the bottom in no matter what even putting top in and then compressing

 

It looks like it might be too wide maybe?
Did they include any other bushings with the shocks? Also did you confirm they sent the right part number?
If it's correct I'd use flat head screwdriver. Put the corner in on one side and then use the screwdriver on the other to make it easier to wedge in there

 

just bushings for the top

can i just give up and cry myself to sleep now?

 

How'd you make out with your coilovers and uca issue?

For your rears? Have you tried greasing the bushing on the outer lips and whacking it with a mallet? Some times when hardware doesn't listen to reasoning one has to man handle some shizzle.

 

i have resorted to bending the bracket a little grease grunts hammers and calling it a little fucking cock sucking cum dumpster all to no luck free beer and steak to the person that comes and helps!

 

What kind of job do you got

.... I don't see what's wrong here

It better be done by the time I'm back in HB later tonight

 

i hope so but i cant do anything right now. I'm just sitting on a tire drinking beer because I'm pissed lol that shock just needs to go to its home.

 

Crazy idea but can you ratchet strap that bitch? Grease the piss out of it and use the strap as a come along?

 

from what i have seen no becaue it wants to go up as it goes in i can try though

 

Gotta get it all ready to rumble so you can flex out tomorrow with the ppl at pilot rock

 

fuck i wish! taking the gf to the fair tomorrow

 

Ok, humor me and try this:

Take a hammer and tap both sides out a little allowing it to slip in, once you tighten the bolt and nut it sucks them back tight. Make sense?

 

She can wait
Plus the fair is so much better at night anyways

 

makes sense but i have already bent the mounts out.

 

geek you can tell her to wait becaue if that... but at goodbye to anyone you love becaue we wouldn't hear from you again lol
