Long Travel BS Thread

that thing will handle great once the shocks are tuned

 

A whole $5?!!??!

I already have the engine cage and the shock hoops.....

Yeah, rear definitely needs a re-valve.

 

it sounds kinda funky though.

 

Exactly and for $5 I'll take those old shocks and A-Arms you won't be needing anymore. Win Win.

 

sounds like its in dire need of a regear hahaha that auto trannys hating life searching through gears

 

just throw it in 3rd and cruise? haha

It sounds like its straight piped too..

 

those silly automatics

 

the vpt truck has no y pipe....just dumped right out of the headers

 

Thanks.

 

I need to figure out how to loosen up this lock collar.



It is on the SAW 2.5" bypass shocks. The peg hole is 5/16" and Poly says they don't make a spanner for 5/16" pegs. Any ideas?

 

Soak it in machine oil and wd40. Use an allen wrench. Works well on my icons. Or maybe get one direct from swayaway.

 

fit a few philips head screw drivers in there and get one that fits snug. You could even go as far as finding a round punch with that diameter and measuring it. just some ideas off the top of my head.

Do any other shocks use the same spanner wrench or size?

 

I'll try those. The peg holes are very shallow. The Allen keys I used just slipped out under pressure. Would a strap wrench work?

 

prob not, def use some WD-40 like stated above as well will help whatever grip you get move it alittle easier.

 

If the shock mount moves along those same threads try putting a big ass screwdriver in the center of the joint to break torque

 

Just use a punch and a hammer, give it a couple taps

 

go to mcmasterr carr .com and type in part number 5475A19 . should be what you need . you can will call in santa fe springs if you need it same day

 

Boom! problem solved +1
