Hi All,
I bought some GAZ lowering shocks to replace the shocks that were already on the car (standard height).
They are noticeably wider than the original ones as they have the adjustment etc.
When I've gone to fit the rears they don't quite line up with the top strut hole and so I've had to basically force it into the hole.
After I've done this I've noticed that the shock body/dust boot is sat right against the arch.
Presumably it shouldn't be like this.
Could it be that the previous owner has had welding work done to the car in the past and welded the arches in the wrong place?
If so roughly how much would it cost to sort out, id tackle it myself but id want it perfectly aligning.
Cheers
