Did I buy the right shock mount?

[b-mac]

Forgive my stupidity, but can anybody tell me how this works? Or did I buy the wrong thing?

What brand shock and mount do you have...what you have is a weld on shock mount..remove the bolt and bushing from the mount.figure out where the mount needs to be and weld it up...the bushing goes in the shock eye (if needed) and the bolt goes thru it and the mount,,,,.wether its wrong or not depends on what are you trying to achieve..

Should look similar when mounted...

[mongocanfly]

Looking closer at your mount it doesn't look wide enough for the shock eye to fit it..hard to tell..you've got pics of 2 different mounts it looks like...

Mongo, the pic you posted is exactly what I want to achieve. This is the top mount...i have a lower stud similar to your pic.

On my shock mount, on one side, the sleeve is welded in the mount. That won't slip inside of the sleeve in the shock, so do I drive the sleeve out of the shock, and use the mount sleeve as the only sleeve through the rubber part of the shock. Not sure if I can get the shock wrestled in there anyway. And if I do remove the shock sleeve, how does the other sleeve on the mount (floating one) stay where it should be, when it's the length it is.

Maybe this mount is top narrow/small for my application.

No.. don't knock the sleeve out of your coilover..get the right bracket to fit your eye..it looks like you've got the wrong mount..here's a pic of mine in the bracket..its got about 1/16" or so clearance..I just stuck a bolt thru it for show..measure your eyelet sleeve length and then you'll know what you need..there's several vendors for these..about any chassis comp as well as summit, jegs, etc..

Thanks for the help men.

I'm probably just fab up my own mount tabs.

I can't really figure out how you would use what I bought.

Do racing shocks use solid hiem joints rather than rubber or urethane bushing?

[mongocanfly]

I started to suggest building your own but not everyone has fab skills or equipment to do it..by all means yeah I would make my own..the heims ends are much stronger than than bushing and more forgiving to binding..but im gonna run what I got cause they came with the kit..my 3 link rear will have all heim joints on it..they say bushings ride a little smoother and heims are a little harsher ride but I've never ran them so it will be wait and see..
