Shock absorber question
Hi ,
I had the change a rear shock absorber on my 2005 ap2 . I bought a used one from a guy and he told me that it was a ap2 one . I installed it , and now the car is a little higher on this side
I read that the ap1 get about 10% higher than a ap2 , maybe it's a ap1 shock ?
I want to know if the shock absorber is the same and only the spring change ? because If yes , I'll only change the spring for a ap2 one
Thanks !

Re: Shock absorber question
Well, the "strut" shouldn't change the height of the car. The spring is the piece that "holds the car up". How much is the variance? Very noticiable?

Re: Shock absorber question
Agreed: shocks should not change your static ride height.
I suspect bushing preload from the shock change, or sway bar preload from not lifting the entire axle off the ground before reconnecting the end links.
My 2 cents.
