OME Rear Shock Lower Mount

The OME bushing does not fill the space on the lower shock mount in the rear. There is about 3/16 of an inch of space between the washer and the bushing. Do you think that a washer needs to be added to compress the bushing a little and make it tight?

YEA!!! The rear is now done so I have my full lift (Rear took about 2 hours so total of 6 hours with only my 10 yo daughter helping.) I'll post some hints and pics later on..

Thanks

Re: OME Rear Shock Lower Mount

I used two 3/4" grade 8 washers from lowes on
each side of mine for the AP, which have the
same thing, its just that the toyota lower mounts
is longer than the standared shoch bushing that
all the companies use...

Re: OME Rear Shock Lower Mount

Thanks Bandi, do you know what the ID needs to be for the washer?
