Hi
I've rebuilt my rear subframe, its ready to be refitted except I've not ordered my rear shockers yet. Is it going to cause me problems if I fit the subframe first, then fit the shocks at a later date? Just concerned about the length of the lower shocker mounting stud. Id have thought you would be able to change a service item in situ, but thought id check.

thanks, James.

Just drop the radius arms, wiggle the damper on the stud, do the nut up, then raise it and do up the nut at the top.

Done it a fair few times.
