Re: Rear Struts/shocks /94 Euro w transverse spring - How to / Help

Getting the the strut back in was a bit tricky.

I had envisioned putting in the bottom bolt, and hinging the thing back and forth to get the original camber/alignment.



When I got it in there, it was obvious that the emergency brake bracket was in the way of the strut at the angle required to clear the fender.

Rather than remove the bracket, I figured out that I had to compress the strut shock absorber to get the top of the strut vertical. Then I was able to align the lower holes and insert a bolt.
