Folks,
I am struggling big time!
I treated myself to a pair of AVO/Rutherford adjustable shocks from Hearts of England and having a real battle to fit them.
I assumed they would be simple to fit.
Well, I tried a while back and was unsuccesful as ther appeared to be no clearance between the chassis and where the rear hand brake cable enters the back plate causing a 'pinch point'. I was advised to detach the handbrake cable from the suspension hoop, but no success.
I tried jacking the axle first, and then the body (letting axle drop) but still no joy. Now I have removed the suspension hoop (where the top of the shocks attach) thinking that would give me slightly more clearance but no!!
How on earth do these fit on to the bottom hanger? The car is a 2002 4/4 (although it is a Le Mans 62 I am not aware that the axle / chassis is any different from a standard 4/4).
The sun is shining and the car is on axle stands
