In another post, someone asked about the Body Armor bumper and tire carrier.
Well, Im not a happy camper at this point.
Got a little ambition this morning and disassembled the tire carrier to install the spacers.
When I got it apart, this is what I found.
The pics are of the upper bearing that was totally destroyed.
Thankfully, I was sent an extra set when I got the bumper.
Replaced them, installed the spacers and the dam thing still has a sag.
I like the carrier as to finish, its just frustrating that it still has a slight sag even after
replacing the shims, which is supposed to fix the sag.
Sent an email this morning to the manufacturer and waiting to see what they say.
OK rant over.
