You know where it needs to be. Make it happen. ;)   Got a pic of that area of the frame and a arms?

Tried a few shock positions last night. Only 1 is plausible but real concerns the tire will hit the piggyback res. Tire is 12" below and a 15" stroke shock.  I can put them back where they were but different lower mounts. Less then favorable or air shocks. They will fit and will lean in w/o clearence issues. Room to add a fox shock absorber behind it for better valving.

I'm not willing to cut part of the frame out for the c/o. It needs to sit right where the frame is.  It would be structurally weakened if I did.

That .09 is 25% more wear.  I would call that substantial more wear. I think the LE grease is likely substantially better than the 101 but the 165/164 is better than both. I have seen no visible wear in my 934 cv's using it. I did need to replace one 934 due to a soft spot in one of the ball tracks. No grease will help with that.

This difference is why I will continue to use the 165/164 from Swepco.

LE Almamoly:Four-Ball Wear @ 75ÂșC, 1,200 rpm, 40 kgf, 60 minutes, mm wear, ASTM D2266
   0.45

Swepco165/164:Four Ball Wear Test (ASTM D2266)mm..0.36.

Big difference there. Pretty similar otherwise. I'll stay with the Swepco.

The Swepco164 is a caulking gun tube and the 165 is a grease gun cartridge. Makes cv service a lot easier.

I've been using https://www.swepcolube.com/products/swepco-165-molyxp-extreme-pressure-grease/ the last 3 years or so. I like it as it has plenty of cling yet will flow and not dry out.

I would definitely call that minimal.  Sounds like it did exactly what is supposed to with out flinching.

I went to the chiropractor yesterday, feel soooooo much better. When I bottomed out it hit so hard a button head 1/4" bolt head bulged the 1/4" thick aluminum skid plate.  Been  studying inline rear shock placement. Too many clearence issue using a non busted shock. I just done want to cut a section out of the frame.  Not sure yet.

Here is a link to the grease I will start running in my cv's.   https://products.lelubricants.com/item/high-temperature/almamoly-hd-grease-1488-1487/1488-tube?origin=serp_auto

That sucks your feeling it and hope uts not bad

Your rail is def tough enough to take a hit. It just happens sometimes. Like getting bumped in the trails  :m
The chassis took the hit well. I got the body panels and belly pan off today and was able to determine the main double tube spine was not bent at all ,just a very small twist of the front bulkhead and the triangulations did their job keeping almost all in line. The mounting tabs were intended to be what would be sacrificed/crumple if the arms took a hit and did their job well also. Was able to straighten the crumpled tabs and check the resulting alignment. 6* caster/1.5* camber passenger side and 4.5*caster/.5*camber driver side. Zero toe . Should only take a turn or 2 to bring it into spec.. Damn glad I made those tabs to crumple. I am betting there would have been much more damage if I hadn't.
