Outstanding work @Quick_Shifter ! I bet the owner is beyond happy at this point.

Thank you. He is another that will only let me touch the truck from now on. Switching him to Amsoil on Monday

Great write up, Mind you I have never understood all this silly lift stuff, most I see never leave town. I am dating myself, I guess.

BIG Use the proper tools I hate watching you tube videos of guys impacting the shaft nuts on and off especially if you're re using them

"Here I am clearly SHOWING OFF!!!! Not too many shops use a wheel lift to put tires back on..."

Only if you want to save your back or cut down on Workers Comp claims.....

I’ll send you my Amsoil link if you order often. They recently changed the preferred customer program it’s a great deal now

Nice work fixing that mess disguised as a lift. I can't believe a shop would do that.

I remember seeing that in another post back when you made it.

Wow. Way to take care of someone elses mess. Like a boss.

I always wondered how nuts like the one at the top of the strut got torqued down…now i do!

 

[kurek]

I always torqued those strut-top nuts down by shoving whatever two hand tools I could get to work together, at whatever angle would make them work. Sometimes it gets agonizing like 3 degrees of movement... never bought myself any of those fancy window sockets for the job because every vehicle and even every replacement shock/strut seems to use differently sized hardware. Not worth buying them all if you're not a shop working on cars daily for a living.

The only time I would ever use an impact on them is removing an old set I'm going to throw away because it doesn't matter if they get damaged.

 

[DILLIGAF]

I just made that socket. Takes literally a minute with a grinder.

 

[Quick_Shifter]

I have multiple window sockets and through sockets. It’s all about the right tool for the job

I don’t work on cars daily I own an AV company. I opened a by appointment only shop because my personal lift was not done properly and everyone I talk to has issues with their suspension. I do everything so far above and beyond I naturally am getting repeat customers. I only know how to do things the right way which is a gift and a curse

 

[Quick_Shifter]

He put it to good use this weekend and is very happy. He reported that it handled much better and I’m glad he is set up correctly now.

I can attest to that! I’m in N. VA & have a local shop I go to for inspections/ emissions but for anything else I gladly make the trip to Quick-Shifter’s shop in PA. I would drive twice as far if needed for the peace of mind that the job, no matter big or small, is done right! Great guy with a awesome shop, modern technology with old school work ethnic. I won’t take my truck anywhere else!
