So me, my brother, and two buddies are installing my Rusty's 2.5" suspension lift the other night. We got the struts back in and put the wishbone that the strut sits on, and bolts to the A-arm, bolted in and torquing it down. Im pretty sure the torque wrench was set wrong, and SNAP, we look down and the collar that goes around the bottom of them strut is snapped in two. Does anybody have a spare I can buy cheaper than the stealership? It is a passenger side, thanks

I’m currently using mine but try a local junk yard before heading to the Stealership.

Well my roomates dad owns a salvage yard but he didn't have anything and everything that he found through his connections would only sell it with the strut assembly which I don't need. The closest stealership was $450.......yeah don't think so! So I ordered one through a stealership bout an hour away for $150.....I was just throwing a feeler out to see if anybody had a spare laying around in the garage...thanks

How soon do you need it? Pretty sure mine from my sfa swap are lying around somewhere....just gotta figure out which corner I tossed them into.

As soon as I can get them.....if it will be cheaper than $150

And one for KK is only $36. Someone posted they are .25" longer for net .5" lift. Am I correct or not anybody know for sure? Are all the bolts the same? Any other pertinant information appreciated?
