hopefully somebody can help. my car is lowered 60mm at the front and its been on standard shocks, bought some jamex shocks and after doing the back, i have having major problems getting the top mount to fit onto the top of the shock.
ive compressed the springs as much as it will allow, but even when pushing down hard i stll cannot get a thread to put the nut on, if the nut could get a bit of thread , id be able to put it in with the nut.
does anyone know if im doing this wrong or if there is another way you fit the shock together, the shocks are shorter than the stardard ones, and so is the spring obviously, so im not too sure why im having such a problem?
hopefully somebody could help or give me mini step by step guide?
many thanks .
