NY: Shocks + Springs (possible damage)

carnut7 · 11-19-2008, 11:21 PM

Ok I did something stupid, I got new springs that came with bump stops. I had never done this sort of major work before and I thought I could.

I couldnt get [ast unbolting the wheels so i took it to a small auto shop that did it for 50 bucks. They put the new bumpstops in addition to the stock ones and now my pink shocks are broken. I also dont have the top hats.

Basically I am new and I made an expensive mistake. This is for someone who can DIY and fix everything. I cant garuntee fitment or condition, except the springs were under warranty so they were replaced with new ones.

First 100 bucks gets it

Hey

i am Canadian, will be driving through NY (Buffalo) where are you located? I can pick these up Friday.

Are these still on the car??

In Buffalo area. Send me you number and I will call you. If you see a Private number answer.

These are coming off tomorrow. I purchased new Ohlins suspension and its being installed by a competent subaru shop.

I wont have a chance to clean the shocks, but springs like I said are replaced under warranty and are NOT installed so you have to dis-assemble everything and re-assemble properly and then hope nothing is broken. I am telling you now...dont blame me later....hence I wont give my number. I am being honest now just dont want you to bug me later for your money if the shocks are beyond repair.

DONE!!! you have PM with my number. I will see you Friday. Can you fix the price man, the only thing I know is your springs will a warranty replaced unit and your shocks maybe broken due to the improper install.

I have to take it all apart, clean it then re-pack with grease and then assemble to find out they are beyond repair plus the top hats are missing so its really incomplete
