Shocks

I plan to do this over the weekend. Thinking back, I believe when I installed the shocks I torqued the lower bolts without any weight on the shocks. Hopefully it will work for me too.

Hi,

I had the same noise on my truck after a shock change. The way the lower shock is sandwiched between brackets that are not designed to flex. If the new shocks slide in easy you will have just enough movement in the metal sleeve in the bushing to make noise. You will need a long breaker bar to tighten the lower bolt enough to flex the brackets, to clamp the sleeve tight. Sam

Glad to hear that you got it fixed!
