Throwin some rubi shocks on my 2012 sport. Got to the last one, the front right shock,.....how in the hell am I supposed to get to the top of this bolt!?!??

First pic is the left side, no problem, second pic is the right

 

."no one will ever have to get to this bolt" said the Chrysler engineer

 

Lol am I the only one to notice

 

I saw on another thread that they had to cut a notch to get to it.

 

It's just so retarded lol...

 

Cutting the plastic is the only way. We have all done it when lifting.

 

Might be a dumb question but can you simply hold the retaining nut in place & turn the shock tube itself to tighten? I know it's possible but does it create a potential problem to tighten this way?

 

Yeah but I'm going to have to cut the plastic on the passenger side to get to it... Literally can't get a wrench on the nut let alone reach in to position the new bushings on top of the new shock. It's hard plastic, not the flexible liner thats in the way

 

I heard this complaint before, never seen it. Thanks for the pic, my 11 doesn't have this problem? ! Good luck

 

I have 33x12.50 r20's on my stock suspension. No clearance issues until I had a lot of weight in the back and was driving on a bumpy road. The tires rubbed in the wheel well. Will coil spacers help this issue??? Thanks
