That is where I got the idea to use that particular unit. Joe's kit info is on Greg Bender's website. Mine is going on a 2003 EV Touring and it should be a...
It also lengthens the life of the shock if it can turn freely on the mounting lugs. Which reminds me, does anyone know the difference between the inner washer...
