[QUOTE="86strokerlx, post: 1984297, member: 23433"] When you installed the shocks, what, if any kind of grease/anti-seeze/etc. did you use on the bushings. You mentioned you had to use a pry-bar to fit them in the lower shock mount? Am I correct? That as well as the breaking point of the shocks themselves, would lead me to believe that there was indeed a great deal of binding going on as many others have previously stated. I have used these shocks on solid axle cars for years now and have never had a problem like this. In my experience, when a reputable and proven company such as Strange Engineering states that the S60004LM(does NOT fit Cobra w/ independent rear) they say it for a reason. While I commend you and the others who have attemped this experiment, as I was going to figure out how to make the pair I have work with the IRS that is going to go in my Fox, I hope you do not fault Strange Engineering for this issue. I hope you find a way to resolve your problem and I wish you good luck! Experimentation is what makes this business and hobby what it is! But then again, those are just my $.02 Good luck! [/QUOTE]
