this shock bent?
The grey body is rubbing on inside of coil
No, the aftermarket spring is poorly made. The wire is thicker so the clearance is tighter. The end coil wind is poorly squared, most likely, as I can’t see them, it is a best guess.
If the shock was bent you would see it in the chrome on the rod.
Kid bought it this way. I don’t know how stock shock dia. Compares.
His video does not show seat bottom. And it’s back on suv now
Says it squeaks at slow speeds
Well Duh! The spring is rubbing on the shock body, of COURSE it is going to squeak!
