Hi, I need to replace my rear shocks on the above and am wondering re their operation. Specifically, when at rest... is the strut compressed or extended? The reason I ask is that I note there is no 'bottom' (ie under the wheel well) support on the strut shaft. there are big rubber grommets above the wheel well along with two nuts. I hear mention that shocks are typically 'pre-compressed' which would seem to imply that there should be supports on the shock for below the wheel well... anyone know?
cheers, guenter
