Whiteline Rear Converted Shock for ST185
Here is the picture Whiteline of Australia sent me of their converted
rear shock. When I completed my Whiteline setup, it sort of looked
like this. To have the rear shock end up looking like the pic below,
here's a guide in short:
- drill a small hole in the bottom of the shock to relieve the
pressure, make sure it's centered as much as possible
- cut the top of the shock off using a strut/shock or muffler
cutter you can buy at Sears for $20
- remove the the shock from the housing
- drill a bigger hole in the bottom of the housing using the relief
hole you made earlier for the bolt that bolts down Whiteline insert
(this is where centering the relief hole comes into play)
- file this little bump down that is inside the shock housing
until you can smoothly slide the insert into the cut housing (to
find this bump, look for the weld on the plate the sway bar bolts
onto the shock housing, then eyeball where that weld would be
on the inside of the shock housing
- *note* the collar is 52mm in diameter and about 2 inches
long which can be shortened if needed. it is provided to extend
the existing housing for the insert to lock or wedge into when
it gets bolted in place. you can either leave it as is, hoping
everything is straight/level or close and bolt everything up or
weld it and have it sturdier, then bolt everything up
- take the shock housing and the collar that is provided with
your Whiteline shocks to a welder
- have the welder level out the top of the shock housing by cutting
or grinding so that when he welds the collar into place, it sits
flush/straight with the housing. if it's not level the insert
will bolt down misaligned
- have the collar welded and then painted if you wish
- bolt the insert down into the housing
- put everything back and off you go

Rear Insert
Accepting Shock Conversion for ST185 or ST165
Here are pics of the insert conversion that I now have on my ST185.
It's almost the same process as the Whiteline but with a different
collar, you don't have to file off the little bump, and you open yourself
up to different brands available to be used. You can find more info
