Beilstein front shock installation
Hi
I am in the process of installing the front Beilstein shocks on my Amazon. There are no clear instructions in the box in terms of fitting the washers and bushings. Could anyone please advice which order the washers go. The stock shocks that were on the car have a washer right at the bottom. So what I mean is that if you start with a bar shock, so no washers or bushes at all and you start from the bottom. The stock shocks have a washer right at the start. On the Beilstein non of the washers fit unless you sand down the paint on the shock first. Is there suppose to be a washer here before installing the bush. If so I need to sand down the paint and push it on and its tight. I hope I am clear. If anyone has a photo or pic on how these washers go on it would be very helpful. Thanks |

Suck eggs etc but make sure the tops of the shock towers are in good nick with no hole wear or splits. Better still add reinforcement plates.
1800 but same parts http://www.1800philes.com/suspension_reinforcement.html |
