Default RE: Help! Bent Shock


ORIGINAL: ldgasp

anyone remember the Redneck fix for a shock that was done a few months ago?
My Fix ? lol
How I fixed my shock and rod while waiting on new parts
First off you have to find a bolt small enough to fit inside of the shock with 2 nuts that fit it, one with threads to the bottom of the bolt, second drill a hole in a penny if you dont have the right washer, third find a small piece of metal to bend in half and drill 1 hole in each bend, fourth take apart the shock and drill a hole to the size of your bolt in the bottom of your canister, insert bolt into shock canister threaded part first, put your shock back together, then you put the spring back onto the shock, holding back the spring, screw on one nut then put the penny on it, then put your angled piece of metal that you have drilled and cut on it, then the other nut, and adjust tension with the nuts and tighten them.
This is how we southern boys fix things [sm=bananahead.gif]
