Suspension please new urgent!

Post by Russell9n3 »

Putting standard suspension back in, all fine about from the drivers side front. I cant seem to get the bit where the bottom of the arm in to go low enough so i can get it back in... Sorry dont know the technical terms. Would appreciate some help because my anger is getting beyond belief at this point ha

The only way I could do it is by jacking the suspension arm up (mount the jack under the plate where the bottom of the spring sits with a bit of wood)

Fix the 3 bolts up at the top of the suspension under the bonet, jack the suspension up untill it is raised high enough to get it into the bottom section
