This.... The relatively thin sheetmetal the upper shock mount is made of requires spacers so it won't collapse when the upper bolt is tightened. I use a small stack of the correct size Grade 8 washers on both sides of the shock to avoid deforming the shock cross member. I use tape to hold them in place while I install the bolt. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)
