    It did take them 4 or 5 days to process my order as well.
    However, they did ship 2nd day air.

    Cheers

    So an interesting turn of events. At first when the rep responded to the link that you provided this is the response that I got:

    F6C849E2-D52D-4995-B856-52EF9667A530.jpg

    He obviously just looked at the photo and not the part number. So when I pointed that out, this is the response I got.

    56C50D6F-8928-46A8-9A60-69097C55DEBD.jpg

    Id like to thank @GasPowered for being the my number one Elka customer service rep. You da man! Springs are on order.

    I hear ya, I think my top bearing or...my UCA is the source of my squeaking driverside issue:confused:, not that my rusted in spacers and rusted lower bearings didn't need changing.

    What uca's are you using?
    If they're SPC, it'd be my guess it's the xAxis bushings that's causing the issue.

    Cheers

    Did anyone else get round shards like this coming out of the bearing?

    Stuff and junk and things...
    That looks like the Teflon liner, once that breaks down the bearing is shot and the ball starts to move in the outer race.

    Just thought I would drop in and leave this here. I'm amazed at how much dirt and crap was in there but everything came out pretty easily with no issues. The bearings were toast and I could move them freely with my fingers once I got them out. The new ones should be here today. 20220920_140013.jpg

    Finally got the coils swapped today. Both are 700lb. It was good before, but now it’s amazing.

    There’s less preload. They should not be shipping the extended travel shocks with short coils.

    If you’re talking about something like the relocation that Archive Garage makes, I don’t believe they do. I think you are stuck with Fox or King if you want to go that route.
