Be insanely oily and have that chrome end cap loose so you can see the damping holes? I am SO looking forward to finally installing these things this weekend.

I'm guessing not. Pics? Call Sam and ask him. He'll know.

I would, but he's closed for the weekend. I'm about to go to OReilly's for a pilot bushing. When I get back, I'll take the pics. I didn't think so, either. Thanks for responding.

Oh. Okay. So the silver cap isn't supposed to be sealed to the shock? Got it. Thanks for the reassurance, man. Cheers.

Your good. The directions suck. Call Sam and he can give you some pointers.

It's worth it. I installed mine with Strano springs this week, it feels like a different car. Money well spent.

you will have to remove the cap to get the spring mount slid over the shock
then replace it and tap it down in place.
