gbianchi Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 sounds like your torsion bars are also toast, shocks just control the springy action of the tbars, been running a log/gravel/garbage/misc. hauling 79 brat without shocks for years, but is still springy and on the bump stops only when loaded heavily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 i think he has an ea82 which uses coilovers instead of t-bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 it's only an ea82 transmission, the rest is BRAT and ALWAYS on the bump stops, even when empty sure is a HARSH ride but it is fun on SNOWMOBILE trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 oops i didnt see the "-brat" If you are riding on the bumpstops it has nothing to do with shocks. Shocks just dampen to prevent a bump from causing the suspension to bounce all over the place. They do nothing to locate the suspension. You must have something wrong with your torsion rods, like stripped splines or broken torsion bars inside the tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 sounds like it's time to weld in some new metal supports up from the frame rail, and put the coilover rears from your wagon in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
