View Full Version : s15 rear shock hitting toe arm
Was fitting some new coilovers before and one of the rears goes on sweet but on the other side the bottom of the shock is hitting on the bolt for the toe arm, Ive tried turning the bolt around so that the head of the bolt is on the shock side but it still hits on the shock before it slides onto the mount on the hub.
Anyone else had this problem? Is it possible to bend the bottom shock mount?

have you tightened the bolts all the way up at the top? if so, loosen them.
Then, man up and wiggle that around until it fits. If it still doesnt, then maybe you have a car with accident history?? Either that or that rear arm is way too short and needs to be adjusted properly. Notice any tire wear with that setup?

Will the caster/tension arm adjust and rotate the spindel?

Yep, you need to see if your arm can adjust out, moving said bolt away from your coilover. If not, it is possible that the knuckle is bent.
