When you say funny shape fork things, do you mean these:



If so, these are shock re-positioners which fit on the bottom of the rear shock absorbers allowing more movement of the rear shocks. They twist the shock by 90 degrees giving the shock an extra plane of movement. See below:

They're made of such soft metal its not hard to be a bit over zealous and snap one off inside the cylinder. They're not dear so easier to swap it than try to get the bust bit out.

I've learnt my lesson..................twice :blush:

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

naa mate, like almost a crap looking spanner haha, may be obvious when fitting the kit i dunno but i have no idea at the minute?

Got one with each shock and 5 sleeves with EACH shock, are the different sleeves just for different fitments on other vehicles, like use the best one for yours????

I'm not 100% sure however at a guess I would say that it is to relocate the brake balance spring on top of the rear axle back to where it should be following the 3" lift.

I made one of these last week for mine, however it didn't look like that. Take a look at this thread for more info and photos.

No problem B) . Do you have any sleeves that are just slightly shorter than the actual bush??
