    Should have put a rag between vice grips and shock shaft, if the vice grips damaged anything it’ll stuff the seals in the shock

    Should have used a bit of grease on the thread for easy removal next time

      Tried all that, didn’t do jack squat unfortunately, from grease to oil and all sorts of lubricant 👎

      I suppose with the tight thread it just pushes it out the wat

      I just bought whatever the brand was from Supercheap. However I did make sure to get the v8 rated ones. 👍🏻

    You have fitted the rubber boot the wrong way around

      @TAVOTravsDIYGarage  Год назад +1

      I thought that, but it don’t fit the other easy around up the top.

    Much easier to just go buy cheap Strut/ bump stop / boot , top mounts, you can pay $250 for a decent Strut or $400 for darn good 1 , or you can get one from ebay new for $120 , Personally i always pay around $265 /$310 for very nice strut & Polyurethane Top mounts . Ps : always replace boot ^ definitely replace bump stop.
