New Front Shox on Lowered Front

[boycer]

Hi,

Im looking to replace the front shockers on my van which has a lowered Weedeater beam 4 inch narrowed, with Wagonwest dropped spindles.

Ive managed to get the shocker off, but am struggling to get the new one on because of the angle of the spindles...

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

Have you got narrowed lowered trailing arms fitted?

Hi,

Dunno to be honest. Ive taken a photo to show how it is set up...

Cheers

Actually, its not the spindle thats the problem it is the lower shocker mount that is bent :-(
Is there an easy(ish) way to fix this?

Hi,

Does anyone know of any easy way to straighten the bent lower front shock absorber mount or is it easier to get a new lower torsion mount (and if it is where from?)

Thanks in advance,

Ideally you'd remove the trailing arm and apply some heat to straighten it.
If you break it get in touch with Alex at Transporterhaus for a new used one. He also does narrowed trailing arms.

Brilliant, thanks for the advice...
