URGENT! JAMEX REAR SHOCK ABSORBER!

Post by Corsa84 »

OK so today ive fitted my new 60mm jamex kit.

it consists off 4 shortened shocks and 4 springs.

Ive fitted the front springs/shocks no probs atall.My concern is that after fitting the rear shocks and springs im worried that ''what if ive not done the REAR shock properly''

What i mean is the rear shock comes with 2 black rubbers and a metal disk and nut on the actual metal shaft that the spring slides over.I did not get any instructions with this kit!?!?

When i fitted the rear shocks i removed the old black rubbers from the standard shocks,which are completely diff to the new black rubbers,then i got my new shock,then i put the bumpstop on,then the dust cover,then the spring,then i put 1 black rubber on from the new kit,then i put the rear shock up into the hole in the rear wheel arch,then once the threaded bit of the shaft was showing through the hole i put the 2nd black rubber on from the new kit,then i put the small metal disk on then finally the top nut.

then i tightend all the nuts and fitted rear wheel i lowered to the ground.

HAVE I FITTED THE BLACK RUBBERS AND SMALL METAL DISK CORRECTLY?OR HAVE I PUT THEM ON WRONG?!they seem to fit ok but coz they are completly diff to the standard rubbers i am paranoid ive done summat wrong lol.

the car drives ok apart from the exaust banging on the underside!any help would be great!

ive read the guide mate,its a good guide but its just a ''general'' guide.

all i need to know is have i assembled and refitted the rear shocks correctly from my previuos post.

as i sed before the car drives fine and feels fine,im probably just been paranoid lol but if anyone has dealt with jamex shocks/springs i would just like to know how they got on and what they did.

thanks for the advice tho. :)
