Rear suspension KAPUT

Matt do the paper gaskets go inside the boot or underneath?

And I still need to know how to strip down to get the bump stop off

The composite gasket lives on the outside between the top mount and the outside of the rear wheel arch to keep the outside elements out
To strip down all you do is remove the top nut and everything will just slide out in order... pay careful attention to where certain washers go. The rubber boots go over the top of the rear shock assembly once it's all back together and bolted up. Don't be tempted to put them on before mounting the rear dumper onto the chassis as it'll be a bastard to fit. Spray a bit of silicone spray onto the rubber boot for easy of installation

Thanks Matt

Easy peasy.
All questions answered.
I changed out the top mounts due to the spring and the damper going on the same side. I thought I might have damaged it.

Everything was original so was needing refreshed anyway.
Front getting attacked next!!!!

It all seems fine apart from the brakes. I guess they ran out of budget.
