Bob,
I am having a terrible time getting my rebuilt shocker units back into the turret-the centre line of the lower bush is too low to mate with the upper arm recess and I cant compress the suspension enough to line everything up.
The rebuilt shockers are assembled correctly and have the same length as the old units.
It appears the the rubber isolator at the top which goes into the roof of the turret is stopping the shocker from lining up at the bottom mating place.
Without the rubber isolator the match is prefect -obviously cant leave this out so how to compress everything
