Today I installed my QA1 rear shocks.
I am not happy with the way that they fit in the upper brackets. What has every one else done for the top brackets.

Too much play in the holes.

 

Thats what she said!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sounds like a personal problem

 

I think Stan Ruslow has a heim kit to convert them.

 

I also don't like the way they fit, plus the lower bushing is too narrow and requires a couple of washers to fit correctly. I called QA1 and they said to use the stock upper bushing, but then their stud is way too short to get the nut started. I ended up shaving the stock upper bushing enough to get the nut started and tightened, and shimmed the lower mount. Disappointing since they list it as a direct replacement. Oh well, wadda ya want for $275.!

That's what I ended up doing with mine exactlly.

 

Ruslow heim joints will solve your dilema.

 

Al,
call JDM and ask shaun what he uses. He just did mine the other day and they add there own piece to it to make it fit right. Dont ask me what it is though
