Default How to fit GPM shocks on my RS4 3

I just recieved GPM adjustable shocks and they have little ball things inside the holes where you connect it to the a arm and the shock tower. How can I remove these or make these fit on my car. Please help.

I had the same problem with my shocks when I bought them for my RC10GT! Dont be afraid to push them out. They will not break. take a philips screwdriver that is a little bigger then the hole and push as hard as you can. do not worry noting will break, just try to support the rest of the shock so that the shaft doesnt bend.

another aption would be would to get longer screws. i have also did this and it works great.

The choice is yours and they both are fairly easy to do!

I hoped I helped you!

I agree with the **MilkMachine**. Just pop those balls out (hell, somebody popped them in), or use a screw through the ball to attach it to the A-arm. But the balls with screws through them are going to be weaker than a good balljoint.
