KYB rear shock install on 87 convertable
i have a set of new kyb KG5564 rear shocks for my 87 conv.
my lower rear shock mounts are to big for the new kybs. does anyone know were i can get the correct lower mount studs for the kyb shocks?
the part# KG5564 stamped on shock is correct for a 1987. the lower mount hole on shocks are too small. a set of Monro gas shocks came off and obviously fit my lower mount stud.
i guess my next move should be to contact manufacturer .

Looks like the p/n is correct for the shocks but the shock mounts are only one size. It could be that KYB did not use the proper lower bushing when the shocks were assembled.
You may have to provide KYB with the diameter of the shock mount when you talk to them. You may want to start by contacting the business where you bought the shocks. They should be able to get the proper bushings for the shocks for you.
