man o man what did i get my self into. i got 3 of the four energy suspention bushings on. the fourth i had problems with because big fat muffler got in way with my dual system. i got the front struts off and i found out i got one bad ball joint. how much are those any ways? the front two are semi preped. i got the shocks out and hole drilled and coils off old. im deciding not to cut the perches all the way. i used a very strong welding epxoy. like jb weld. this is for the new gc perch on the old perch. i have yet to cut down the perches to about a inch away from the new one just. for mental reasurance. 8 hrs and the rears have not been touched. this rate i will be done on christmas. pics of oldys that when compressed did not move. at all.

pics of done job. i need to take the rears off again. one mount is rattling. its got space to move like 1/4 of a inch (i need a washer). the other i got a sqeak which is very small. and i want to re adjust the rears. i have them on all the way soft and it is bouncy. i thought i put them on firm.

the best yet i wanted to paint and cut perchs but time and exhuastion set in. i will in the future when i go back to mo where i will have my own tools and garage. i did it on a mil base and they would not let me paint. bastards. they can shoot at nothing for practice blowing things up but i cant spray paint for 5 min.

Is the top of the strut supposed to be cut off that much? Did you Konis have 3 nubs near the top to aid in alignment?
