Hey Folks! I finally picked up a set of Typhon shocks to put on my Granite 4x4, but they didn't come with any sort of plastic ball or anything in the upper mounting hole. I looked at the parts diagram for the Typhon, and it looks like there the top of the shock rides on a big metal standoff that bolts to the front bulkhead. Since the Grante 4x4 doesn't have a bulkhead like that, the standoff thing doesn't seem to be an option. For anyone who has done this shock swap, what did you do for an upper shock mount?
I measured the hole on the shock and it appears to be about 7.8mm in diameter, which is way bigger than the plastic ball in the stock shocks. I also measured the width of the plastic ball in the stock shocks, and it looks like it was about 8mm wide. So, I need something with about those dimensions to fill the space and put an M3 screw through. It looks like there is a 7.8mmx8mm plastic ball with a 3mm hole that is used elsewhere on the Typhon (part# AR310450.) From the dimensions, it sounds like it would work, but I'd feel better is someone else had tried it before.
The bottom mount of the shocks bolt right up. It's just the top mount that has me scratching my head. Any suggestions are appreciated.
