Possible Chaffing: Found Top of Shock pushing into Wire Bundle
I had new tires and new Rancho shocks put in yesterday. The guy doing the work called me into the garage and pointed out that the driverside shock at the top, the shock bolt was pressing into the Engine Wiring harness. Other than evidence of being depressed, there was no physical wire loom damage or any apparent damage to insulation.
I thought this was note worthy enough to mention here.
It is easy to inspect as well. Look up at the top of the shock over the driverside wheel near the top of the shock mount. Look for the shock bolt. You may need to pear around wheel well surround material to be able to see.
The bolt on the new shock was insulated with rubber tubing to prevent any chaffing. My phone died, so I was unable to get a before photo. I hope to upload an after photo soon.
