Shocks

Received my shocks in dribs and drabs over the last few weeks, Purchased from Summit Racing, they neglected to write "New" in a customs declaration which meant the items were quaranteened for several weeks, (8), This was a highly anxious time as nobody knew what had happened to them.
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 quaranteen, 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.

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.
