    Help, my coilovers are falling apart!

    i completely agree with Cruiser. all that happened is the shock shaft top retaining nut has fallen out, and you probably lost the bushing too. don't droop the suspension, find a nut and washer to fit, and put it on till you can get the shock rebuilt. what kind of truck (year tundra?) is this??

    Ha! no kidding. I'm always jealous of the socal and Az guys and their endless summers that allow wrenching all year long. Notice the ice patches and muddy areas just under my rear axle. and then there is today, nice enough but i am at work next 24hrs and when i get off i have 2 days before...

    rears all wrapped up. fabbed up a 1/4" plate to sit under the uhwm post. countersunk the bolt. after the last few years of abuse it was quite evident (cause i had to replace them) that the shock shafts were getting hammered by road debris. Nicks in the shafts destroyed the seals and innards...
