Fixed the problem.....Truthfully you guys can say what you want...but I was just stubborn enough to not want to pay 40$ for a brand new shock when all I needed was a 30 cent piece of rubber.....


Two ways to fix it if it goes out.....Use the metal insert that the rubber normall goes around and the bolt gos thru and use a little non petroleum oil and a big washer....and some 5/8's isulated rubber heater hose and slide the insert in the hose and then use the lube and start the hose in the eye of the shock...and start threading the bolt with the washer...and let the pressure and the lube force the hose into place...that eliminated ALL vibrations.....also what I found and did afterwards is

use a rubber shock absorber from napa Part#650-1112 and do trim a teeny bit off the outside with a knife so that it can fit better in the shock eye and use the lube and washer again in the same fashion....minus needing the metal insert....just the rubber absorber....the bolt and an extra large washer.....that did the trick! no more vibrations problem solved...and its a solid piece of rubber...so its not gonna wear out anything soon....
