2 Unrelated questions but need some help

Go to building supply store and look for silver colored silicon in a caulking tube that says it is for sealing aluminum windows. Be sure the area you want to seal is very clean - use laquer thinner, brake parts cleaner, etc.; the surfaces should be sqeaky clean. Apply the silicon sparingly and forced into the gap between the wheel halves. Too much silicon will add to the mass of the material and can be forced out by the inertial forces of the wheel spinning at high rpm.

That's the procedure I have always found to work.

Put some snubbers on the front so when it lands it the snubbers absorb the impact. Also you might try tightening up your front shocks on the rebound side.

Ok are you talking about a stop on the lower control arm or on the actual shock? I have stops on the shocks. I got new lower arms that do not have the rubber stops. I am currently not using travel limiters but would they be beneficial in this situation?

This is what I did and looks to be sealed good so as soon as I get the tires mounted we shall see. Thanks!
