NO wobble , JUST bushings

This is to pass on to everyone that even though i didn't have a wobble i changed my shock bushings with the "MCMasters" nylon bushing they were easy to change out , jacked up , one side at a time , 12mm wrench , easy to get off and a flick with the screwdriver removed the old rubber bushings and a "C" clamp installed the new ones . to put the shocks back on i used the top bolt on the bottom and slowly pressed the bushing & lower shock into place at the same time i used a rubber hammer to press the top of the shock in then when the bottom was close then removed the top bolt from the bottom and installed both bolts in the right place and tightened them . then repeated for the other side. it rides better now, I even turned down the shocks a notch for a better ride.
I found out some facts for you , rubber bushings have a crush pressure of 750 pounds per sq in.
High density polyethylene "HDPE" bushings have a crush pressure of 1,200 pounds per sq in.
Nylon bushings have a crush pressure of 16,000 pounds per sq in.
I went with the Nylon bushings.
good luck,
