Default man this sux!!! why me

ok, long story short. i broke my new rear i had last year to bits. so i bought another one and got it a few months ago. then i find out my tranny was broke, so i never open my new rear figuring i have to wait for the tranny. so i had the tranny out to get fixed. fast foward a few months. i get my tranny back and am ready to install that and the rear. i open the rear and its busted up were the o ring sits i cant friggin believe this. so im gonna call the place were i got the rear and see if they fix it for me, but its been so long they probably tell me to screw. damn this **** is getting to me

Dude... sorry to hear that....

I know you have put some serious $$$ into that baby and all you want to do is have her go!

Hope the vendor is reasonable.

Keep us posted.

If you have Harland-Sharp rockers, check them out. They are prone to failure.
