I am installing some new shocks up front and had a question about the top nut. I keep tightening it down and the top bushing keeps getting flatter and the bottom bushing is still kind of loose. The bottom bushing is getting tighter but I'm afraid I am going to damage the top bushing if I go any farther. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Marc

make sure the bushings are seatd againts the pocket correctly, and you should reach resistence after youve got about 3-4 full thread above the nut. if not, once you get to about 5-6 threads, you should be good.

 

so it doesnt' matter that the top bushing is much more compressed than the bottom bushing?

 

This is with the wheel on the ground:

 

torsion bars are not cranked at all.

 

I know this is a terrible picture. It is hard to take one of your torsion keys. However, as you can see it is pretty close to the center of the adjustment range.
