What I supposed to be a relatively easy task has once again morphed into a nightmare. I bought kyb's 334164 (right) and 334165 (left). They did not come with a "bump stopper". It appears these 2 units are identical except for the brake line hose support location. I also supposed that "right" (334164) means passenger side. Someone please tell me if such is not the case. I watched that guy's videos on how to remove, rebuild, and replace the strut. I got the broken rear strut out without a whole lot of heartache. As I now try to stab the rebuilt unit into place, there does not seem to be enough room to maneuver the unit into proper position. The bottom of the strut is hitting the hub and drive axle while the top of the mount is close but not inserted into the 3 holes in the cab. I pried down the wheel hub some but it wasn't enough. I feel as if I need to somehow compress the shock itself in order to shorten the assembly enough to make it easier to get lined up and bolted into position. It can't possibly be as difficult as I have made it to be. Can someone please help?
