ok well we followed the guide in the how-to forum but we're having problems with the rear. if you look from the trunk where the rear strut bar is and push down on the car, the shock comes up. we cant figure out the problem...any help?

 

i'm confused sorry try to be more descriptive.

 

ok well when you look in the trunk you can see the top of the shock. when you push down on the car, the shock comes up.

 

ok so the new springs are on, the strut is reinstalled, the car is back on the ground?

 

yep. everything is installed, im talking about once the car is on the ground. it looks fine when theres no force pushing down on the back. but when there is the shock rises up

 

is everything reassembled properly. it sounds like you didnt reassemble the strut properly. did you put the top hat back over top of the strut. it sounds like that is where your problem is. but you wouldnt have been able to put the strut back in without the spring compressed and the strut assembled properly.

 

ill take picutres tomorrow to post up on here. everything was assembled correctly. are there any other write ups with picutres besides the on in the how-to forum?

 

sorry i couldnt be of any help. Definitely take pics and post them tomorrow. in the mean time throw you car back on jack stands so you dont mess up your suspension.

 

ok the circled part is the part that moves up when i push down on the back of the car. its already up ailttle bit since u can see the silver part of the shaft.

 

bump...

 

did you put the rubber bumper back on the underside of that shaft?? there should be two rubber bushings-one to go below the bodyline and the other goes on top as you have pictured. ???

 

is it yellow? i cut the yellow one in half. and its on the underside

 

Your problem is that you didn't reassemble the shock correctly. It's probably the dust cover not installed. Happened to a friend of mine.

 

ok so theres supposed to be a dust cover on the top. is that it?

 

no not the yellow one, should be another black one and a dust cover. so it would go together like this- hope that helps
