Hey folks,
Trying to install KYB's on the Yorker front end. Was able to zip tie the shock to a compact size to get it up thru that tube/hole in the frame. However I screwed up and forgot to add the little rubber bushing that fits under the shock tower. Now I need to do some creative zip tie or wire work to get it re-compressed and slid out of the frame tube. Any help/suggestions here will be appreciated.
I've read across this forum and a few others where people disconnect the upper ball joint stud from the steering knuckle and or remove the rubber stop to get the LCA to hang even lower. There is even talk about hitting some location somewhere with two hammers to get the upper ball joint to release from the spindle. See: Upper Ball Joint from knuckle- what is the best way? | Moparts Question and Answer | Moparts Forums
Can anyone provide (in laymans terms) how best to get that LCA to drop as low as possible without removing the torsion bar or damaging the upper ball joint boot? I don't have any of the special tools nor a ball joint fork. I haven't backed off torsion bar settings or any other setting. Literally just took the tire off and have been screaming and cussing at the wheel well. I'm a bit of a front-end rookie so pictures help immensely.
Thanks
