Yes it can be done but a fair warning to you that it depends on the bump stop. The DCC shocks have a big black rubber ring around the bump stop. If you are trimming below that it’s fine but above that gets very tricky because that ring actually has a hard metal ring inside it. Whatever you cut off, you also have to cut down the middle to slide it off the strut shaft.
I think the non DCC shocks have a bump stop without the black ring
Ya then they shouldn't be too bad. Just take your time and be careful when it goes all the way through as you don't want to scratch at the strut shaft itself.Mine is non-DCC. I'll put it up on stands and pull off the wheels this weekend to try and trim them.
Meh....not necessary.On Golf bump stops, the ring helps the soft portion maintain shape.
Well if you cut the top off, then the bump stop might not fig "snuggly" in the strut mount anymore....just sayin'You may want to cut from the top to avoid it but its your call.
Yes, and it's easier than the front!i need to do the rears but I can’t get my back wheels off without an impact wrench because of the wheel locks.
Can the rear bump stops be cut in place without removing the shocks as well?
