I just had a thought. See new photo attached! If I bend the 2 black arrows outwards surely the shock would lift shightly. I could bend it out and put washers in between or even not bother with the washes, it might be good to have a bit of play? :pinch:

Iv found the problem!!!!! I took off the bottom of the shock and found that there is no insert inside the rubber bush. So the bolt is M12 but the hole through the bush is bigger, shouldn't there be an insert? Where can I get one or do I have to buy a set of new bushes?

The insert is in a kit which you get with shock from new,you will need to buy new bushes from Bits4Vits or Jimnybits.

Well that just my luck isn't it! :ohmy: I had trouble with my brake hoses so the garage fitted them for me, I thought there were some in the kit! Ok ill have a look, do they need to be pro comp or just what every jimnybits or bits4vits have? I think bits4vits have a choice of rubber or poly but iv heard poly are quite stuff plus I can't be bothered changing all, ill just change the back ones!!
