a fix for a more flexable shock

[yoda316]

the other day i was messing around with my old rustler shocks and, i noticed that the top mounting hole really limited the shocks movement , cause it uses a dumb little piece of plastic that goes through. so i was messing around with it , untill i saw a piece of fuel tubing laying around.
i took out the plastic thing and shoved the fuel tubing trough, it was a tight fit but not too tight. now the top of the shock is like it has a ball end like the bottom does. it has way more flex in it than it used to, and it doesnt like flop all around eaither.
not sure if it will work with all shocks, but i thinks its worth a try.
so try it out, and say if my idea is crap or if it works well.

but serously i get it starwars joke lol, why do you think i made yoda have a berreta? cause guns are better than a lightsaber ,lol now the darkside aka clods cant make me join their side.

Yep, fuel line works great! I have it everywhere on my Mountaineer project. Each shock end has it, all the leaf spring pivot points have some.

Works really nice if you bought some shocks that don't have the plastic mounting bushing and it's also more flexible which allows it not to bind nearly as much.

True. I have some fuel tubing on my clod on the upper shock mounts. I'm currently running AE shocks, and couldn't find the right spacer to keep them from binding up top. Seems to be working good so far. Just the right amount of flex.

My hot bodies shocks came with a section of fuel tubing just for that purpose. I thought it was common knowledge to do that lol. Now I know better.
