	Hey all I crushed my shock on my 96 ultra it would not have been so bad if it wouldnt have moved my Trailing Arm back about 2 inches and bent all of my tie rods I have sraightened them out with a little heat it is amazing what you can do but it is being a beger to get the shock back in should it be hard to get in place or did I maybee bend something else that I dont see also the guy at the dealership said even though they were replaced 2 years ago you should replace both of them is this true I have rebuilt enjines put twins in triple sleds extended tracks,tunnels and electric work on them but never had to deal with shocks so if you could give me your input it would be much apprecieted thanks in advance Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	I'm not sure why it won't fit, I'd think something has to be bent. As far as getting 2 new ones, that's not necessarily true. The dealer said to get 2 new ones so you won't have a responsive new one and a possibly faded old one. Kinda like how you shouldn't buy 1 new tire for your car and have an old one on the other side of the same axle. How many miles are on the other one? If it's under 1000, just rebuild it and you should be fine. Good luck. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	the easy way to get the shock in is to take out the bolt at the back of the trailing arm. Then you can swivelit out far enough to get it in. Then you will be able push the back of the trailing arm back into position which will compress the shock a little. You have the entire length of the arm for leverage.
