AWD skyline but a few probs plz help
i just installed the light kit and AWD that my local RS just got in. Everything was going smoothly and i took my time. At the end however when i was putting on the front shocks it seems that the AWD knuckles are not allowing for as much movement in the shocks as in the stock knuckles. im not sure if this is normal but now my front shocks dont flex as much as the back now. It seems that at the place where you screw in the shocks into the knuckle mount, that mount has somehow lowered not allowing as much flexibility. If This is not clear to you, then this is the most simple way to put it, my front shocks are always bottomed out or close to it. So if anyone has some suggestions plz help b/c i rely on my shocks to handle tile with deep divets and therefor the shocks to play a big role for me... thnx in advance
P.S, AWD is pretty dam cool, its helped my turning radius and acceleration alot (i recommend it to anyone with a Xmod)

350,
Did you check everything? Are the screws in too tight on the shocks, arm, etc..... ? Try loosing the screws then slowly screw them in. Remember not to tight.

If I understand you...make sure that the whole front assembly is fitting all the way into the chassis. It's very easy to put it in there at an angle when installing it.

ok i think i know what is wrong. when you reinstalled the front knuckles i think you put them in upside down. on the top side of the knuckle there is supposed to be a post will a little dome thing and on the bottom, there is supposed to be just a straight post with no dome think like this,
so alls you have to do is flip them rightside up and switch side, if i am right that is.
