Re: Calvert Shock Users?

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 If you will look at the front of the upper A arm you will see a cone
shaped rubber bumper  that will limit the amount of downward movement
of the A arm. effectivly limiting the upward movement of the body.  I
didn't completly rermove mine, I just trimmed the top of the cone down
till it wouldn't quite be metal to metal ( upper A frame to bumper
bracket)........................MO
