Is the roll bar preventing from lowering the lower wishbone further? You
may have to disconnect both shocks at the same time, so both
sides can go down as far as possible. You may also need to
disconnect the roll bar from the link that connects it to the wishbone.
It might be better to fit the upper bolts first, then put the lower eye into
position.
