Shock Replacement ????
I got a 2001 HD and I'm thinking its time to replace the front shocks. I crawled under the truck tonight and saw the control arms(?) resting on the bump stops on the frame (orangish/yellow rubber bumper attached to the frame). Or is this the way it is suppose to be?
Also, I was told that the inner tie rods are loose and need to be replaced. How difficult is this to do myself? Thanks

Re: Shock Replacement ????
It's normal for the bump stop to touch the control arm, they are sort of a progressive stop if you will. I don't find the inners too difficult. Assuming you have rack and pinion steering you will most likley need a special tool to get them off. It should be available at most any parts store.
