Monroe shocks finally installed

[BrewCityMusic]

I have to look, but I think I still have a couple of those spacers laying around (I always buy at *least* duplicate when it comes to trusting my fab skills, LOL) - if i find them I'll PM you and send 'em to you

I put Monroes' in the rear of mine almost 5yrs. ago,The uppers are bushings on the factory mount-stud.Since they don't pivot very much in this application,they will likely outlast the shocks.I also used the factory sleeves in the lowers to reduce them down.Put some never-seize or caliper-lube on the stud and install the shock.Alot of Automotive applications don't use the sleeve,especially when they have a stud instead of a bolt(Ford Truck IFS fronts for example).They use the sleeve on a bolt,so that the bolt doesn't wear and get galled-up to where it can't be removed.Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tips guys! I honestly dont think i can get a sleeve on the top stud. Its a really tight fit as it is. And brew if you want to send those you can but you dont have to. I have the steel one that came with the rear shocks.

It's up to You - my 88 egged out the rubber pretty fast, then again - I'm not exactly gentle with my carts, LOL

If "Gentle" is jumping it on a Moto-X track,then I'm gentle!(the Neighbor has a Pro-Grade Moto-Track behind our house!).Mine are still good,guess its' up to personal choice.If you upgrade to PolyUrethane they will outlast the cart if they are kept lubed.

another great thread i will try to save i said yesterday the new monroes rode kinda rough and hope they gave a lil more with time,,well,
today me and the wife drove a few miles in the woods and the shocks are def very nice..with the wife and me the front rides much better..

the rear is like night and day also..good shocks for sure
if i can just get the brakes workin id be set..have plenty of shoe just dont do nothing when applying them..must be the brake cables im thinkin..

I had the same issue with my brakes. I replaced my cables because they were stretched out too much and ran out of adjustment. They were 15 years old so I guess they last quite awhile.

I just picked up a set of KYB Shocks thanks to this thread... decided I needed to try out some new shocks. Waiting for the air shocks for the rear to come in now.
