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!

theres a guide on how to fit rear suspention, check it if you have done what it says its right lol
of course each kit is diffrent... lol

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.

thing is as i said each kit is diffrent so i couldnt say if you have fit it correctly, i would have a word with the supplier where you got them from and ask
if not complaine you didnt get any instructions!!

im sure there fine,they look fine,car drives fine,but i was just wondering thats all.

yes yourve fitted them properly, thats how i did my gmax ones

oh cool.so just to confirm,

while on the shaft of the shock,one black rubber goes on the underside of the wheel arch and one inside the car then the metal disk then the top nut.?

bump
