Stubborn Shock

BNGR - Sorry to hear that the top nut drove you...nuts! It'll all be worth it once you get the shocks in and can enjoy the ride! I had the upper and lower ball joints done last Friday after noticing some play that the old wornout shocks masked from me, so watch for that. Now my 2000 Ranger rides like it did new 11 years ago!

Just got the other shock on today. Took me less than an hour. I've been soaking the crap out of that top nut with liquid wrench for the past week and it seemed to pay off. A lot less bounce in the front now with both new shocks on! Now I can pass my inspection thankfully! Thanks for your help guys!
