Need help/tip with putting rear link back on
 
While attempting to install Autoexe rear memberbrace, I unscrewed the bolt holding the rear link.

This is the rear link that's out. (sprayed yellow)

I can't seem to align it properly to screw it back on. Will this require undoing the whole rear suspension?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Unbolt the shock to give it some slack, under the brake rotors should be a pivot point for another arm. Carefully put a jack underneath it and jack it up, this will help you realign the rear link that's out. After that, just put back on the shock and you're done. :)

Thanks for the reply. I've actually posted the wrong pic..

This is the one that goes from under the brake. Should I still go with undoing the shock bottom to realign it?
