zep Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 When I put the captive shocks in my car, the eyelet on the bottom of them was wider than the standard one, so we drilled out the mount on the diff for a larger bolt. I now want to buy some adjustables (specifically for my car) and they will come with the standard size eyelet. What can I do here? Can I run a shim on either side of the mount? Weld up and redrill the holes? Try to get another shock which has a bigger eyelet? Best idea here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 are you able to replace the bush at the bottom of the shock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 I would imagine that the bush is replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
