Dannyboy Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Have decided to upgrade front and rear shocks to adjustables to allow me to increase the ride height a tad to clear the bump into my driveway. The existing bottom retaining bolt had seized in the mounting, therefore I managed to get hold of two later model bottom wishbones. On offering up the new shock, i noted that the top and bottom fixing are different diameters, however the bush in the top and bottom of the shock are the same diameter, to fit the larger top fixing. My question is, am I missing a 'liner type spacer' from the bottom blot that slots over the bottom bolt and inside the lower shock bush? *confused* Dannyboy cheesy geezer 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKenzie Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Yes, you need to press it into bottom bush in a vice Paul Edited by - Paul McKenzie on 16 Sep 2003 08:32:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
