That was my first thought -- that there was a bushing on there... I got a real good look at it and I was 99.9% sure that there was no bushing on there. I'll have another look though. Should I replace that shock if this is the case or can I just keep that one on? I should probably get a larger washer for the bolt so that the shock has no way of slipping off the bottom. It doesn't seem like it's going anywhere though. ===== -------------------------------------------- 1971 FI AT Squareback http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ vw_variant71@yahoo.com -------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
