Rear suspension change

[Sj1782]

I'm changing my rear shocks over sometime time today, I've bought the powerflex mounts to go on as a upgrade, there's no fitting guide in the box, where do the shims need to go? The bolt hole size on the shim is slightly smaller then then bolt on the shock?

Anyone? Still need to fit these but not got a clue with the powerflex mounts

How many shims are there? Id have thought you'd only need one on the top to stop the nut pushing through the bush to be honest

It goes from top to bottom like this:

Inside boot: nut, then washer, then bush.

From underneath arch it goes: bush, the washer, then shocks.

Basically how you have it in the first pic but seperate the half's and one goes under the arch into the turrets and the other on top of the turrets once the shock comes through into the boot.

Cheers I thought that was the case, the holes in the shims are slighter smaller so they have to be kinda screwed on for them to go on the shock bolt

Probably just needs a slight file out. After that it'll be fine.

Just the single washer on the top, its not meant to slide down the damper rod, just clear the threads.

See Pic.

Is there 2 or 4 washers?

I have 4 washers so 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom? If that's the case I'll have to drill the centre out of the shims

Yes. Like I mentioned above, I just wanted to clarify it was 4 washers.
