Hi, i have removed my rear shocks to replace the subframe bushes but forgot how to install them correctly... it has 2 bushes and a pulley each.
I install it with the 2 bushes and the pulley from underneath the arch, (see picture) and doesnt feel good, i hear bad noises ! What is the correct way ?
My shock absorbers are Bilstein

Regards, Panayiotis

By 'pulley' I assume you mean washer?

1 rubber bush on shock below shell, 1 on top inside boot and washer / pulley on top.

The 2 bushes isolate the shock from the shell, preventing the strange noises that you are hearing.

Thank you, my mistake , its a washer..
And there are 2 washers..

So i will fit the bush over the shock then the washer, and in the boot , fit the bush first then the washer and the nut.... right ?

Washer rubber wheel arch side then rubber washer nut inside boot.
