Neither Summit or iParcel could track the parcel beyond it arriving in Australia, customs denied it had been submitted to them and even though Auspost had sent me a parcel tracking email for both packages, only the manifest had been presented, the parcels had gone missing.
I was going down the track of replacement discussions with Summit when iParcel manage to find the rear shocks in quarantine, had been sitting there for weeks without action, Discussions with AQIS finally allowed the parcel release, and a day later delivered, fronts turned up during this week having suffered the same fate.
The shocks are QA1 Double Adjustable with spherical ball ends, DD403 for the fronts fitted with 10" 375 pound QA1 springs and DD501 for the rears, fitted with 12" 400 pound QA1 springs, both with bearing seats for adjustment ease.
(Mods - After fitting sway-bar, future post, I realized I had fitted the shock lower front mount in the wrong spot, too far forward, the suggested 10" front springs meant the adjusters on this shock type interfered with the lower arm unless the spring was compressed 20mm, the result was new front 9" springs, now there is plenty of clearance through the whole movement).
They look great, very nicely finished.
Made up some bushes to space them in the chassis, shocks had to be off set in the mounting for clearance.
Front RH Shock mounted.
Equally spaced at the top
Compression and Rebound Adjusters.
Offset spaced at the bottom so that spring adjuster clears the Lower Suspension Arm at full droop.
Rear RH Shock mounted.
Offset spacers 4mm to rear so spherical bearing mount clears chassis mount.
12" Springs compressed 15mm to clear Lower Control Arm at full droop, 11.25" length Springs would be ideal
Offset spacers so Shock Body clears Lower Control Arm.
Rear Shock Adjusters easily accessable through factory slot in Lower Control Arm.
Adjuster Knobs also have slots in them for screw driver adjustment.
