Upper control arm ripping off ball joint boot ? (Page 2/2) cam-a-lot MAY 29, 09:32 AM Can someone please comment whether going with Munro shocks would resolve this issue- are they the correct length? Not really interested in spending a ton of money on trying to find Koni shocks, as this is more of a weekend cruiser and I don't need the best handling. More interested in a comfortable ride thanks! cam-a-lot MAY 30, 08:07 AM Bump- can someone please advise if Munro shocks for the 88 appear to be the correct length, so that this issue is avoided? cvxjet MAY 30, 11:36 AM I believe your BUMPSTOP is hitting the boot- you need to cut away the outer edge(Towards the Boot) so that it does not contact the BJ boot. Different shocks will not make any difference as far as your BJ boots are concerned. cam-a-lot MAY 30, 02:36 PM Thanks The boot is only being pulled apart when the car is on a hoist and there is no weight on the suspension. You can see the metal part of the control arm physically pushing up and against the boot in the picture. I am not sure if I undertand how the bump stop would have anything to do with this? If I was to have a similar picture of another 88 front suspension on a hoist, I assume the control arm is not interfering with the ball joint boot? cvxjet MAY 30, 03:22 PM Jiminy christmas!!! I am a big ole dumb-dumb......Now I see that I was wrong-o..... It looks like the Bump stop STOP is what is interfering....Have you cranked in a lot of negative camber? That would close the gap between the BJ and that stop.......Now, either you could crank it back a bit to clear, or you could grind the edge back on that stop....... (Jeez, I hope I am (Now) seeing it right now (If so, I will mark this day down!)
