Title: installing front drop shocks
Post by: jaime on September 03, 2014, 12:41:43 am

Having a little bit of trouble getting my new shock to slide in on the bottom since the bushings that came with the drop shock being wider than stock and pointers on how to squeeze them in on to the lower control arm    thanks

Did you get the right shocks?  It should have a sleeve in it that goes between the mounts.

Those are Toxic Shocks.  They should have came with the correct bushing.  Can you take pic and post your problem area?

It is just a rebranded lowered shock.  Where are the bushings and the bolt sleeve?

I am saying if it came as it is pictured above there is no bushing in there.
Where are they?
