    My cv joint runs against my cool when I'm cranked all the way right, I don't believe it does it on the left side. Do I need extend eyelets, a diff drop, or a maybe new lca?

    Hows the bushing in the bottom shock eye?

    It doesn't look like it is putting much force on it since paint is still on each part.

    Haven't checked, if it's bad would that cause it to be out of place?

    I can't tell from the picture that well, but is the LCA hole where the bolt goes through the shock elongated? On your last picture it looks like it is.

    Shock upside down? I've always seen adjusters on the bottom of the shock.

    A lot of them are on the top. Kings and some Fox at least are that way.

    Looks like the bottom mount might be oblonged if you look closely at it.

    Yeah if that is what we're thinking it is in that picture, that's your problem OP.

    lca mount looks fucked like said.

    quick repair. get thick washers with same id as bolt. weld them on where the hole used to be.

    So pretty much what you're saying where the lca mounts to my shock needs to be welded so the bolt sits higher? Like it's totally messed up to where it's sitting in the wrong place?

    looks like the bolt may possibly be too small. Does it fit tight into bottom of shock or loose where it goes through shock?

    Did you install the shocks yourself? I changed mine this week and that bolt was seized to the shock bushing. I had to cut mine out on both sides. Maybe some one else had the same problem and put too small bolt back in

    If the bolt and washer was too small you would also see that rust. I changed my front shocks this week and that bolt looks way smaller than mine, maybe not though, just an idea.
