Don't speak to me about fitting KYBs to a C body
Did you undo the tosion bar adjusters? The manual suggests that the shocks go straight up through the gap in the bottom arm,KYBs are about 1/8th" too big in diameter for that.

I've never had a problem with them. Yours must be a lot stiffer than the ones on my e-body.
They do come already compressed. I guess one option would have been to get them in position before removing the plastic tie holding them compressed?

Sally's are great, aren't they!? Mine always comes to the rescue with a cold beer and a bacon butty when my patience is fried! Everyone should have one!

Glad to hear you got it sorted in the end
Definately helps to have some consolation when the car is trying your patience!

what was the unusual method you used? If I ever get back onto doing mine I was going to fit KYBs...
