Brickwerks Suspension Shims

Post by Dubstar »

Just putting the rear one on - do the grooves face up towards the chassis or down towards the rubber and the top of the spring?

Smooth side down, grooves up.
Just put it on so where it says "brickwerks" you can read it.

Get in there - I did it the right way after all!! It was in bits and getting dark so I took a chance and did it the right way, so Brickwerks is the right way up. Thanks guys. :ok
