Title: Rear shocks
Post by: Miggy24 on 16 May 2009, 17:00:37

Hi all today i got my new pair of rear shocks for my estate but on the bottom of the shocks in the rubber there is a metal sleave in there and i now cant put the shocks on.Are they there for a reason or can i just heat the rubber up and get it out

Hi, You need to keep the metal sleeve in there, a bit of manipulation and it will go in.

So you mean you have left the 'sleeve' on from the old shocks you have taken off?

Dont understand what you mean, your new shocks will have a sleeve, the old one should come away with the shock
