{Chrysler 300} KYB Front Shock Upper 1964 300K Question - Issue.

["'James Douglas' via Chrysler 300 Club International" <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

Received my NOS spindle so back on the front suspension rebuild.

 

The stock shock up front uses a metal sleeve tube in the center of the rubber top bushing. It sets the compression of the rubber to the height of the sleeve. The KYB shocks however have rubber that fits tight to the top shaft of the shock. No provision for the sleeve.

 

There are no instructions in the shock box.

 

My question to the group is how much does one tighten the top nut with nothing to gauge it by? Has someone come across a torque specification from KYB on this? Or do I have to try and drill out the rubber hole to get the sleeve back into the KYB rubber.

 

Thanks, James
