The Custom Rear Control Arm Thread

[RedSRT4Me]

I just noticed.....your rear shocks are mounted upside down, the boot should be at the bottom since your shock label is upside down.

Finally got the shocks installed. If I ever run into the guy who did the install I really want to punch him in the face. This ******* welded the top nut to the bolt. The only way to remove it is with a cut off wheel and new hardware. I manage to get my phone in there to snap a pic to understand why I couldn't remove the top nut.

Live and learn

Looks good! I still wish they put the damn button on for the e-brake cable keeper. Had I known....

I can finally add to this thread in a meaningful way.
