Hi All

I have just fitted a 9' - new shockers/springs and trailing arms to Lh sedan. Fuel tank is in but empty , so no weight over the tail. My issue is when l push down on the boot, it appears the suspension returns back to the top position with a large thud. Any ideas would be grateful

regards

Shockers too short for this application?

Yep happened to me on my first set of rear shocks, even though they say they are to suit LH. I think they were BOGE?

Thanks everyone - Yep spot on with suggested issue . I remember buying shocks and the comment they where 25 mm shorter than standard - that would do it.

thanks again
