nice one, ill try this 2moro, what can i do to stop it if thats the case?

Un screw the cap that holds the shock in and wrap some wire/cable (i used speaker cable) around the shock the, cable acts like a washer for some reason the shock is to small for the strut, screw the cap back down with thread lock gel round the thread so the cap dont come loose though the vibrations. there is properly a proper way of doing it but i dont no it so i done it that way and it works :-D .

lol sounds well bodged, but if thats the case, ill give it a go :D

aaron-that was a pic with the 32mm spacers behind the wheel!

:lol: it is but i dont no of any other way of doing it :lol: or you could take the shock out and put some sort of washer at the bottom of the strut sounds less bodged :lol: .
