No my friend, I did nothing wrong perhaps the PO did something wrong but I did nothing wrong:-) The numbers you just gave me match with my KYB shock boxes so I think what happened was the PO installed the wrong/smaller shocks and fastened down on the nut and bent in the brackets inward significantly. Maybe I can pry them out to fit the KYB's but that will have to be another weekend thanks for the help. Phil
