hello! i was wondering if anyone can help me out with a problem i have with my suspension. the holes where you insert the bolt to attach the brake system to the shock won't align. is there a way i can align it so i can insert the bolts or do i have to go out and buy new shocks? i don't know if that sounds right. but any suggestions would be great.

yes turn it or push the rotor down to make it fit. if its the rear push the rotor down it should fit. unless you didnt put the shocks/ struts on right. fix it

just move it up and down, back and forward...(the rotor).... it will go in... if all else fails have a buddy help you move the rotor while you try and get the screws in...

if its too low and shock is too high (common with coilovers), just jack it up

if its vice versa, stomp on it a few times

i tried pushing down the rotor and i'm still a few inches shy of inserting the screw. i did it before but idk why it just won't align this time.
