The wagon has been all over recently and in rdu we had some cold



Today I went ahead and installed the SACHS German shocks in the front, came with new rubbers and double nuts for the top. The bottom came with new bolt BUT the shoulders on the bottom mount were too durn tall for a wrench to clear. Ehhrhrhrhrhrhe very frustrating. Went through all my tools and was considering putting it off until I was back at my welder to make a speciality deal but anyway..... Here are the pics.

Next up suspension wise will be basically everything on the rear hyro suspension: gathering all the parts and materials so I can knock it out all at once.

See the solution in the cut out pieces in the last photo. Don't worry I'll be checking on my modified shocks to be sure they don't deform, or tear from the cuts I made.









You can the the difference in the side by side
Oh no pics but I did clean out the rear washer res. and the lines but when I got it all drained and refilled with test water it came out of the hatch!! I have a leak somewhere between the roof and the nozzle. Any ideas?? Also what is the best way to clean the mold and goo out of the tank, it is pretty stuck in there.
