Replacing my front shocks. I’m not sure how to remove the metal retaining ring/nut from current shock? Did a quick search, but I don’t see any slots, threads or something visible to grab for the removal? Looks press fit? I’ve attached pics, thanks for help!

Thanks that does look like an option If the /4 strut housings are considered "late" per their website.
To be clear they are only offering a non OE version of the Oil seal. I guess Ill have to call to see if they can help with the other little items. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
