Replacing parts after a collision
Good morning, a few days ago I had a clash with my pajero io
This caused the shock absorber and the steering column to be folded
After buying the damaged parts, I decide to replace them and I find that the suspension rod in the photo does not fit well with the suspension plate, as you can see in the photo.
When I change the suspension plate, I stumble that the bar that comes with the front of the car does not fit, it seems to be longer.
Any suggestions on how to install the bar?
Comparing one side to another gives me the impression that the front bar like the stabilizer bar have not bent.
I think you need to take a close look
The part shown in the third picture is the lower arm or lower control arm, the bar that you are trying to bolt to it in the fourth picture is the strut bar - I think you need to take a close look at that bar and at the front attachment point of that strut bar to make sure they are not bent - remove both strut bars from the vehicle and stack them one over the other and compare them that way.
