Lifted the front end!!
No, not in a good way ?
. The UCA's were squeaking like crazy so I pulled them to replace the bushings. Then I looked down at the bottom of the coilover and saw it.
If you look closely you can see the o-ring bulging out of place. Not good. So I pulled the coilovers as I need to have them height adjusted anyhow.
The outer edges of the sleeve inserts in the bottom of the coilover looks to be pretty gouged up. This could have been what was making the noise I was hearing and assumed was the UCA's.
I then I removed the sleeve inserts and pulled the o-ring.
The o-ring is pretty beat up. It's cracking and just doesn't look good. Under the o-ring the spherical bearing built into the bottom of the shock isn't looking so hot either. Looks like a lot of dirt and debris has been I there a while and may have done some damage.
And the other side of the same bearing
Waiting to hear back from ARB but so far they've been very responsive on the phone. Emailed them pics this afternoon and they are working on it.
