Windy Road Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 There should be more threads in those nuts. My guess would be something is blocking the top hat of the shock from seating all the way up in the tower. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowImg Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I wouldn't consider that fine. Also those nuts should be replaced, they're lock nuts and look like they've seen better days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passionincar Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Actually there is a round metal piece welded below the bar bolt holes. i see it is to support the bolts. the nuts and bolts looked fine... i didn't see any rust... just dirt and oxidation. i tried fitting it... but didn't like the way it seated... so took it off... just debating on whether its really worth it.

.blackgt. Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 You can grind those tabs down, but it is a spec b. Do you normally reuse parts that are dirty and oxidized? Also, you might want to look up the meaning of oxidized and rust. They are one in the same my friend. Carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passionincar Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 sorry about the rust... i have seen worse on the bottom end... as i said it looks just dirty to me... anyway let me get some new nuts... i am just going to return/sell it... looks like its not worth the price to put it on.

ShadowImg Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The nuts are actually supposed to be replaced every time they're removed. I normally just clean them and put a dab of loctite. If the threads look worn (which is what I was referring to), I replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passionincar Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 yes the thread was looking fine. i am going to see if i can remove the small metal support piece at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
