FREE: 5100 fronts, new but damaged

Yes, free, but I dont want to go through the hassle of shipping these so you need to pick them up or have a friend pick them up in San Jose/Pleasanton area.

Two front 5100's with NO hardware. In a rush, I used an impact on the nuts on both of these which worked fine when I assembled them. However when I went to remove them the same day because I didnt like the height, the nuts galled the shaft and DESTROYED the threads. I thought about repairing them, but I just bought new instead. You might be able to rebuild these with a new shaft, or you could definitely weld up the shaft and rethread it (I had this done on a race shock 10 years ago and it is still holding up). Either way, they are yours to play with.

They are older so the grooves are made for the aluminum spring hats, not the newer stamped steel spring hats. The steel hats would work, but you would only be able to get 1.75 lift (not the 2.5 that you would normally get out of these).

Pick up in San Jose.

 

Bump. Been moving stuff all week and these need to be out of my way. They hit the garbage if they are not gone by next Wednesday night.

 

I'd just chuck them dude, I saw your post on NorCal but seems like know body wants to mess with them.
They could work for sure, but the average person today is a bolt on kinda guy, I'd take them just cause there free and could put a little work into them but I don't live in San Jose .

Bump!

 

Free bump for you. I would take them in a heart beat if I was closer. I'm a pack rat and I keep stuff like this stashed away in the shop for a rainy day. You never know when/why you might need such a thing. Best of luck. Drop me a line if you ever make it up towards Novato or Vallejo.

If you put these in the pay it forward thread, it may help you get rid of them.
