#29 Shock Absorber Replacement

with No Comments

Originally it had a Rancho RS9000.

Front Right Side.

Rear shock absorbers.

Some of shock bushings were missing.

The bush was totally dead.

I changed them to KYB’s Gus-A-Just (KG5506). Cross pins and loop sleeves were installed, but I don’t need them. So I have to remove them.

First, I used a hummer, but it didn’t work.

Second, I used a plier, but it didn’t work.

Third, I tried to cut it off wthh a leutor, but it didn’t work.

Finally I drilled the bushings,

and pushed it out with a vise. It worked!!

Next, I have to install new bushings. It was also hard because the vice didn’t work.

I decided to hit it with a hammer.

I barely to succeeded, but this time it is hard to attach to the Jeep.

So I kicked!

Kicked!!

Kicked!!!

And kicked!!!

Like this, I managed to replace the shock absorber.
