If you are doing this. Now is a good time to install new wheel studs.

Ran into a problem when installing the shock. In the 1st pic. You can see the new spacer for the monoball bushing. It's hitting 2 tits on the shock. In the 2nd pic. You can see them better. I had to grind these down to get the bolt through the holes. Took me about 1/2 hour to figure this out.

1st and 2nd pic's. Everything installed.

3rd pic. One issue that you can't get around. The bottom bolt for the brake caliper hits the traction arm. I had to remove the front mounting bolt of the traction arm off the frame and move the arm out of the way to install the bottom caliper bolt.

All finished and alignment spec are -1.75 camber, and 1/16" toe in. Hours in doing all of this. Took me 8 hours with a couple of wiss breaks.
