hi took out rear shocks to change bushes, now shocks are 75mm lower then the hole to bolt back up, help please

 

Have you tried to push the control arm down to line up the bolt hole?

 

yes but will only go down a little

 

Did you disconnect the anti roll bar link? That should give sufficient room to move the suspension down to line up the bolt hole.

If you haven't already done so, download the Workshop Manual and follow the procedure for removing and replacing the rear shock absorber and spring.

 

hi that was my next move, I thought I might get away without doing it, thank you
