Fitting Pro Comp Dampers HELP! was created by Beano
Folks,
Just purchased a rear pair of Pro Comp dampers (ES1000) and they wont fit :ohmy:
They are the right fitments etc but the bolt eye at the top of the damper, appears too wide to fit in to the mount on the underbody of the chassis.
Anyone got ANY tips at all before i smash them to bits like a child??
Spent HOURS today trying to get them on but the mount is just too skinny and the eye on the damper (especially the rubber) are too fat to fit together.
The lower eye goes on fine, just the top that is the problem
