I'm trying to install my stock rear suspension right now and I'm having a problem. The bottom of the suspension does not line up to the bracket where the flange bolt goes through. The suspension pieces are sitting really low and I have been trying to push the rotor/hub down but it doesn't come close for both sides. I just swapped out my megan coilovers that weren't that low, maybe 1.5 inch drop. Any tricks as to how I can line these up and move on with my life? Thanks

 

you need to jack up the rotor/hub assembly in order to match up the fork through bolt opening.

once you match it up, put the bolt through. torque to spec, and ease off of the jack.

 

That's your problem, as shark said above, you need to jack the whole assembly up. Once you've got everything lined up and hand tightened, you want to torque things down from top down to proper spec.

 

Thanks guys. I ended up just pushing down on the hub with my foot and weight while lining the shock up and it worked. Took about an hour to do both sides after I figured out what to do. If I would have jacked the hub up it would have gone the wrong way because the shocks were lower than the bracket.
