Default Update!!

Well, I double checked things and it was something simple. Apparently the nuts that came with the shocks that fastens on top weren't on correctly or was but didn't tighten like it was supposed to. The top of all 4 nuts after examining them kinda bend in ...so when you try to tighten it down it goes down so far then stops and starts to turn the shock (polished part) Sooo, what I did was take my original nuts from the factoy shocks and put it on the tokico shock and started tightening. It kept tightening and tightening and finally stopped. It went a LOT farther down the threads on the shock then the nut that came with the shocks did. I went ahead and did that to all 4 shocks and then backed her outta the driveway. Started driving down the road and its smooth and QUIET!! If you could have seen me...that would have been the biggest smile on my face!! Something so simple as that. Geeze. Oh well, I guess I will have to note that in my DIY walkthrough. Lata!
