Mark.. check out Rock auto as well when your ordering parts. Sometimes they are cheaper than eBay and the quality may not be as questionable. I've purchased shocks and quick struts from Rock auto with no issues... and no, I'm not getting kickbacks from rock auto ; )
I didn’t watch the full video due to time restraints. But do you have any tips on removing the insert from the new shocks? Or any tips in removing a particularly stubborn insert from the previous shocks that are stuck? Heat didn’t do the trick. Thanks in advance sir!
@@timewiththedurbins The rubber spacer part. I’m not sure how to describe it. The little cylinder spacer thing where the shock connects to the rest of the car
The rubber sleeves should just slide off the end of the shock shaft. There is no reason to remove the bushing from the eyelet end of the shock. @@danieldomenech7096
@@timewiththedurbins That same piece from the previous pair of shocks is practically welded to the main part of the car where the shocks go. We tried heating it and chiseling it off but no luck
I don't think I've ever had one stick that bad. Normally you can heat it with a torch and get it to break loose. You may have to take a cutting torch and burn it out. Just be careful with an open flame around anything flammable, do not use around gasoline or oil. @@danieldomenech7096
I'm sure there is a torque spec for shocks. I recommend always torquing bolts to factory specs. I have changed so many shocks I just kind of know how tight to make them.
great explanation.. thanks
Thank you for watching.
Have you changed the rear spring lately? A new rear spring will make the car set high.
The car came with a new rear spring.

I'm not sure what insert you are talking about. The rubber or the steel?

no torque needed?

What did that ribbon hanging off the mirror mean? Enjoyed the video and ride, lol, still love that car man, sis
If you're not an aviator, you wouldn't understand 👌
That is true. Thanks for watching.
I will explain it to you this weekend when I see you at the reunion.
Pitot tube, gear pins and some other covers on aircraft use these to remind the pilots.
What need now is Borgsen steering box and chassis brace
I plan on changing to Borgsen once my steering goes bad, which is just a matter of time.
