Rubi's Build up

<< < (19/25) > >>

Axle:
You wanna know why I hate Skyjacker shocks?  I'll tell you why I hate Skyjacker shocks.  They are cheap crap!!!!  That's why.  Both the upper bushings on Gary's rear shocks simply disappeared.  They crapped out and fell out of the bar pin eliminators.  Unbelievable.  I've never seen anything like it.  >:( >:( >:(

albsvx:
uhm...

that doesn't sound possible.

I absolutely do not believe that.

Axle:
Believe it.  They were in there when I put the bar pin eliminators together.  They were in there when I put the shocks on the jeep.  Keep in mind that the bar pin eliminators remove the metal bushing and only use the rubber one.

albsvx:
right, but they contain their own metal bushing, right?

I just can't see how this can possibly be true, unless there had been sitting out in the sun for months or something.

short of dry-rot, there is no way that brand new bushings would disintegrate tot he point of being completely gone from the vehicle, in what, 2, 3 weeks?

I don't mean to insult you, if you personally did all the work ... but I've got to believe that somebody "forgot"

albsvx:
unless there is some sort of serious severe design/build problem with the BPEs that are cutting the bushings...

I certainly wouldn't blame the skyjacker shocks on this one.

I mean, even if the bushings were horribly dry-rotter, that's a shortcoming of the bushings, not the shocks ...

and really, if they were THAT bad, that should have been obvious when you were installing the BPE

something is definitely fishy here
