Front shock mounts ..

[Hilly_70]

Hi Guys ..

I think i may answer this question myself as i type it .. but never the less ..

Im just rebuilding up my front beam again with the red9 kit and have bolted the shocks on ..

where the shock mount at the bottom goes on to the trailing arm bolt , the thread on the bolt doesn't go down as far as the width of the shock ..

So do i tighten the nut to the end of the thread, leaving a small amount of potential sideways movement at the shock ..

.. or fit washers to pack it out a little, so i can tighten onto the shock central bush ..

I have an opinion, but wanted to hear yours first ..

Cheers

Hilly

No spacer? Mine did, and I fit over-sized washers too.

Fitted mine last month. Had to add thick washers
