      It will tuck them as long as you stay pressed into a tree...

      They just pop back out, assuming the seals are good.

                  Honestly this is the most helpful thread anyone could bump. This and using jack stands correctly. You can never remind people often enough.

                  Double checking your lug nuts can save your own nuts.
                  Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

Glad I didn't inhale any :/ thanks for this cause in about to do my rears ! Would half mask respirator with niosh filters and good goggles u think work instead of full face shield ? Or use my old welding mask ?

                            tucking bumpers is easy and safe with a little common sense o.O

                              When I cut my shock I didn't get any on my face or inhale any but it made my hands feel like if my skin absorbed the oil and felt wwrm. I'd wear rubber gloves if you plan on touching the shocks.
