 |
|
Hi guys,
Recently installed air ride, with the monroe Ma750 shocks. After installing and putting back on the ground I noticed that the new shocks are too big (despite being for a beetle or so I was told) and touch the upper suspension arm. Does anyone know how I can fix this, or if it’s okay to grind a bit off of the upper suspension arm?
Also have had another problem for a while: the bottom of the lower suspension arm touches the wheel on the passenger side and I really don’t want to have to get ANOTHER set of wheels. Any advice greatly appreciated |

Photo?
Wheel Size w/offset?
Tire Size?
Drum or Disk?
Spacers?
