I removed a Progressive 420 series shock due to a seal leak, progressive told me to basically pound salt as to sending it in for a re build, 'too old'.
Anyway, that's not my issue. I found a replacement and while I wait for the delivery I thought I would put the original stock shock back on and enjoy some nice weather. What should have been a 30 minute installation job has turned into three days and still struggling.
I can NOT get the stock shock on the top mounting eye. I am starting with the top mounting eye. There is a .32 offset that keeps the bolt from going through.
I can not get it lined up.
The stock shock had only maybe 2,000. miles on it before I took it off and I had it sealed air tight for storage, so it is in good shape. There has been no chassis damage, no wrecks, nothing. Can anyone PLESE give me some direction and advise?
thank you,
