Beat by a Bushing!
#11
So, u only slept for not even an hour after we got off the phone. OR, have u been up this whole time? Maybe, you weren't beat by a bushing. Maybe you're just beat. Myself, I can go on less sleep than that & I have. But I don't do a regular basis.
Then again, you're older.

lol, I just woke after a nice little nap...
Not a wasted day but not as fruitful as I was hoping for. Tony, NORCAL TBSS was very gracious, inviting me to his home and helping me out today. A few small pieces and she's in there.
No, all I have is the rears, I'm going to have to pull a front and measure it before ordering the front set....I didn't really want to spend any more $$, thanks Dewey
not sure on the warranty, not too worried about them breaking though, they are very solid. Bought through Summit so I am in good hands there.

OK so here's the deal, QA1 Pt# 9033-108 is a 3/4" OD x 9/16" ID sleeve. They wanted 3.50ea. + shipping. I called Summit and talked to customer sevice who split the cost with me $11.98 shipped for 4. Kudo's to Summit who is under no obligation to cover anything seeing how they don't package the QA1 shocks and QA1 doesn't ship their shocks with the "correct" size bushing.
I like the idea of the washers too Tom, so I need to pick up some 9/16th coated washers to get er done.

Finally, they are on. I bought those damn bushings from summit only to have one of my customers make me a custom set to fit perfect. Tony helped me out and got them on for me this afternoon. I have them set pretty stiff for now to get a feel for them.

A month to install 2 little shocks?!

Good to hear Bill. Lemme know how u like them. I think it's cool how quick they can be adjusted (even by you) & u hop in and can tell an immediate diff. And if that doesn't work, do it again. Track use will be prolly a different setup than street for comfort, & the Lil Mule will be happy. Gotta handle all that powa u make.

I have them on 15 for compresion and 10 rebound (24 clicks possible each way) right now, it is pretty stiff but responsive and it rides good. Only thing tht i notice is when I stop completely its like the truck "shakes" a little?
