Default Mounting Rear Shock Qs

I just put my 12 bolt in and at the same time I did my shocks. I got single adj. and I put the **** facing the tire! Looking at it now I might be a pain to get to, but if I turn it around and face under the car, I feel when my sway bar goes back on it will be in the way???

i have mine facing the tire, what sway bar you using? When I put my spohn rear sway bar on about two years ago it looked like there was enough clearance but after driving for maybe two nights it had rubbed into both of brand new qa1 shocks

One thing I did was get a longer bolt and put washers between the shock and the bracket thats bolts thru the rear. You want clearance between the shock and the bracket so your shocks have room to compress. This is a big one thing that help my car alot.

you can get a lower shock bracket from madman that'll turn the shock 90* so the **** will face the front.

I just used a piece of square tubing and cut one side off, works good and very cheap. Just sayin'....also raised them up about 2 1/2 inches.
