right think iv sorted it,1st jack up and secure the rear end place a jack under the bottom arm remove the wheel
then remove these two bolts
like so
slowly lower your jack remove the coil spring and drop down the bottom arm like this
place the coil spring spacer on your spring note the hole in the top of the spacer this alines with the bolt that protudes out of the spring cup on the chassis
aline the coil sping in position making sure the bolt on the chassis goes into the hole in the top of the spacer like so
slowly jack the arm back up to aline the two bolts,replace wheels
then from this hight
to this
i think i need some bigger rubber now tho
