It appears that to make the new shocks fit, i'll need to remove the sleeve from the bottom rubber. Can anyone see any major problems with doing this? The rubber on the old shock didn't appear to bad ( it had it's protective sleeve removed ) ...
Also does anyone know if any cars came with a larger ( heavier duty ? ) bottom mounting stud? All shocks seem to have this sleeve on them, seems strange that they don't fit my car when i'm pretty sure the bottom shocky mount is original. I checked the part numbers on the shocks and i've definately got the right ones.
