I’m not sure why he drives, it’s only what, about 8 miles from his house, right? ?
Yeah, there was that too....
My contract at CIBC wraps up Monday - I would apply but I might need to embellish my Skills, Education and Knowledge Requirements.pretty close.
its a nice area.
I might want to try my hand at rubber work.
wonder if they would hire me
That is what my wife says too...
Maybe. Then I re-read his initial diatribe and think it's deserving, especially since he hasn't said anything after everyone assured him they aren't defective.
Instead of doing a search or asking a simple "is this normal" question, he assumes he knows more than anyone, and bashes a manufacturer and workers for his ignorance, then disappears, I assume out of shame.
No doubt about that. I raced cars as a hobby many moons ago and one of the tricky tuning items was cutting the elastomer donuts that went onto the shaft and acted as a bump stop. The curve that resulted in the various cone shaped stops could make or break how the car reacted at the limit when you hit a bump, curb, etc. You wanted a progressive curve that kept you on the track when the suspension was loaded, that also made sure you didn’t bottom the shock and break a very expensive part on the car.
I understand what you are saying, it just seemed like a lot of piling on, for what the OP probably thought as a simple blowing off some steam post, however misinformed the starting point. Just one man’s perspective though.
Your mechanic is full of shit. Raptor bumpstops are not the same design or material.
Nailed it. the Raptor bump stop is a full, solid linear bump stop, not progressive like the one on the Ranger. I suspect it's not the mechanic that's full of it though.
Intimately familiar as they replaced the factory stops on my Ranger when I did my suspension. After fighting those bolts I'll never forget.
