Subject:Another word on shocks
From:Mark Mages

Well, I can't remember who said they could compress
the KYB's with one hand, but where were you a few
hours ago when I was putting my rear shocks in?  Huh?

Man - what a difference - the ones I took out were the
stockers, 87K on them... I could compress them with
one FINGER... not pushing very hard either.  The KYB's
I had to lay on my back & push with both hands on the
first one.. the second I knew better & didn;t take the
plastic off til it was in place.

Shoot - for all four shocks for the price of one
Boge/bilstein... I am quite pleased with the end
result.  Now I just need to get those bastards who
used an impact wrench to tighten the lug nuts to
UNtightem them so I can actually get the front wheels
off to replace those.
