K11 Rear Shocks/Springs

[Madd Genie]

Hi guys

I have a March K11 2000 model auto and having problems trying to get rear shocks. When i have people in the back its wheels are getting intimate with the body. Should i change the springs or the shocks? What model shocks does the K11 take. Am in South Africa so most mechs are not familiar with the car.

Thanx a lot guys.

the shocks wont effect the height of the car mate, has it been lowered ? and where is it fouling ?

Hi Frank, the car is not lowered. It was fine at first, now when i have pple on board it goes down. If i hit a depression on the road the body n wheel touch.

if its hitting the offside rear arch ? you may just need some panhard rod/axle shift correction

Is it hard or its d.i.y??

What size wheels are you on?

you need to shorten the panhard rod really mate, either an offset bush or adjustable rod (there are many threads on here)
