I have a question in the Rear the shocks go in 1 slot thing there is only 1 place you can put it if you flip it around it wouldnt work.

But in the front i have it so there shock can go in 3 positions but it doesnt rub in the front or get caught should i just leave it or flip it so the shock goes in the thing where it can only be in 1 position? or is it suppose to be like that in the front CONFUSED!

looks like you have the left arm on the right and the right arm on the left, reverse the arms and flip them. You have the shock screwd into the sway bar hole.

I just did that to the Rear to fix the problem and it was a *&^%$$%%@#$%$#%##%%$ to put the Sway bar back in the control arm it wouldnt reach the hole. But i'll do it to the front to i guess

reservsing the arms in the front is annoying because i have to take the spindle and swaybar and all that out on both sides then make the sway bar fit in the hole which is really hard because it wont reach the hole after i reverse it.

Working on it atm

Question

Ok everything seems to be ok with that now.
But now i have problem with my shocks 1 is longer then the other mostly in the front in the rear its pretty even but still abit off.

What would the problem be for that ? there is no adjuster just add or remove clips and i have no clips in any of the shocks

you can try measuring the lengths of the shock shafts and tighten the ball ends evenly (equal measurement). Do this to both front and rear, it should help level the car. Also double check the droop screws. If they are not set properly it may give the illusion of the shocks not being even.
