that red "bushing could be the seal from the rear bearing... the shocks are a breeze, even I did it without help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
rear bearing has a trick: freeze the new bearing before install.. if it were me, I'd do the rear bushings too... still, ll told, one day of work |
