+2 Rear Shocks - Part Deux
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 5:10 am
Alright, so I'm now to this point:
This is the side where the castle nut appears to have simply sheared off the shock. Crazy stuff can happen to a 35 year old car I suppose.
Anyway, so now what? How do I get the silver collar off? Just clamp with giant pliers and screw? I'm afraid of denting it so I can't get it back on.
Am I being too paranoid?
Thanks!
Oh, and P.S... What does anyone recommend for drive shaft replacement? I've been looking at getting a CV joint system from Clive (a very helpful bloke ) at Paul Matty to replace the black doughnut system. I'm concerned about the doughnuts breaking on me someday and tearing things apart. I'm not a racer, so I don't need the best-of-the-best, but I'd like something good quality that will give me peace of mind. Any suggestions?
