ok.. whats the trick to spreading out the front shock mount at the axle?

title says it all. just about had it struggling out in the heat with this !@#$!@#$ thing trying to spread out the mount so I can put a new shock on there. Damn thing is bent inward from getting beat on with an impact gun.

All thread, nuts and washers. You could even load it with all thread and relieve it with the air hammer

lol, now I have the opposite problem.. trying to get the shock to stay put!
now that I have real shocks in there, theyre trying to oval out the holes.
I might try welding some 14mm washers to the front and back of the thing.
Always something!

Do you have the anti-crush sleeves in the bushings? If the shock mounting bolt is tight then it's unlikely to be ovalizing anything unless you're airing it out or bottoming it out hard-which would more than likely just destroy the shock well before ovalizing any holes.

These are king shocks.. looks like some heim joint in the bottom with a two piece sleeve.
The shocks have a good amount of damping so theyre ovaling out the holes on the crappy (and overpriced) streets we have here. At least it keeps the ricer population in check ;p
Im going to try making a steel ring to sit under the bolt head and see if that helps keep it in place.
