I've picked up a schumacher cat 3000 and i'm after a bit of help.
I've been on the schumacher web site to see if they have the manual for it but they only have the exploded diagram which doesn't give me what i need.

Basically when i got the car the rear shocks were mounted on the front of the wishbones not on the rear as per diagram, I swapped the rear wishbones from left to right so the shock pickup's were on the rear so they look like the diagram but i've noticed the left wishbone is on the right hand side and vice versa. obviously i'm doing something wrong or is this right???
If anyone can shed some light on this for me or has a manual they can upload or screen shot the correct page for me then that would be much appreciated.

From memory, I think that might be how it's supposed to be - because the arms were originally from the Fireblade, and on the Cat they are the opposite way round.

Dave, it's "sort of" the same arm. Fairly sure it started life as the very same arm, but had a hole or 2 added. Infact there's about 3-4 versions of that arm, let's say it evolved over time!
