Need help asap : Munroe 58510 install
« on: April 02, 2015, 01:47:49 PM »
I got my Munroe 58510 shocks. How do I mount them onto the Eagle? Their top is just like a threaded bolt, nothing else. Same as in this picture :

The current shocks on my Eagle are the air shocks, and I can't seem to remove the mounting piece on them to put onto the Munroe. What wizardry is this? I need to fix this asap. The wind is getting stronger and my car is sitting on jack stands.

HELP!!

The bracket is part of the Eagle. Did your car not have rear shocks on it?

Yes, but there was no bracket. The old man that rebuilt the car totally screwed a few things on it, which I'm slowly finding out as time goes by.

I'll have to find the actual brackets. The job I did on mine is pretty ghetto...it works but ghetto as ghetto can be ghetto.
