Default NOW WITH PICS!!

Well, I tried the right side tonight and same problem. I took pics this time, though.

Note that two of the bolts at the bearing are on, but the third cannot be installed because the bottom mount is waaaay below where it should be, so the bottom ball joint is in the way. See how the bottom of the same assembly is almost below the bottom of the rotor!

Compare the original shock (as fully extended as I could get it by hand) and the new assembled one. The new one is probably four inches taller.

BTW, I cross-checked the model #'s with the Bilstein site and they match.

Ideas?? What am I doing wrong?
