After turbos were

Anyone know why gm made a square hole for the round shock to come out? It doesn’t fit through it... so I can’t get it out. Are you supposed to tear the whole front of the car apart and take it out through the spring?

Should drop out.

Got em out! The sheet metal clips were in the way. Got the new KYB shocks in at all 4 corners

I’m glad you got them out.
Before I found out about Bilsteins, I had some Big “A” gas truck shocks that would barely fit through the lower A-arm holes.

I joked that I had to scrape the paint off to get them in. Lol

They were pretty stiff, but not quite as stiff as the Bilsteins.

Yeah, GM didn't put those shocks in. You inherited a bastard.
