Real Time Help Need Ome Lift Install

[semlin]

Hi, I am just wrapping up an install here. can anyone tell me if the ome lower shock mount is supposed to have washers on each side of the rubber bushing? The shocks I am removing had washers. The ome shocks came with a loose bushing in the box and no extra washers.

Well I followed the FSm and left the washers on. They were not in the best of shape.

Sorry Semlin. Swapped my suspension many moons ago. Would assume washers on both sides f & b, but I would expect OME to provide them although I'm likely wrong.

Are you speaking of front or rear?

I was speaking of the lower rear shock mounts. Apparently I was also typing fast. There is an inner and outer washer according to the FSM so I reused what was there. It was odd and slightly annoying that OME would not supply new ones.

Yep, it just adds to the subtle weirdness of how OME does stuff ( like DS/PS). I have reused mine on every one I have done.

I've found it better to sandwich the bushings with thick washers. Prevents the bushings from being eaten away by that big hole in the shock mount.
