    Default Interesting find while installing my new Wilbers shocks :yikes:

    I got a surprise late last weekend and the Wilbers shocks that I ordered were delivered a couple of weeks earlier than I expected.

    I was able to get the rear shock and HPA installed last Sunday and was able to install the front shocks tonight.

    But after I started cleaning up I noticed that the stock shock I removed from the left side is bent at the top of the shock.

    I'm really glad I took the time to replace them along with the rear so my wife could ride with me and not bottom out.

    Hopefully this is what was causing the uneven wear on the front quatrac's that had been discussed in previous threads.

    Off to tire rack next so I can order some new quatrac's for the front and setup an appointment for an alignment.

    I also measured my starting clearance at 3 3/4 " and after the install it is now 4 1/4", so it gave me about a half inch more of clearance underneath.

    Wife and I went out for a test drive and it rides so shweet now.

    Should be even better with the new front tires and alignment.
