Default AVO rear suspension?

Anyone had and trouble fitting it up in the rear?

Im having a hard time getting the top part into the turret ( where the bolt goes through in the boot)

spray wd40 or a similar lube onto the polybush, should go in ok then.

failing that, use a jack under it to push it up if it doesnt have the adjusters on the bottom

Don't use WD40, use grease vastly better, sometimes the top mount metal gets pulled in a bit if the previous shock eye was just slightly shorter, I know they shouldn't be, I just put bottom on then jack up arm so it gets pushed into the hole, quick wiggle with s driver to align it, whack the bolt in, sometimes need to bash some metal bodywork under arch as a bit near on some and they scrape, just use a ball ended hammer on the body inner arch and the other hammer to hit the ball ended one.
