Rear shocks/ struts

Hi all,

Swapping previous owners coil overs back to original and can’t seem to get the strut into the knuckle. The coil over was lined up perfectly with it, but after putting the top studs through their mounting point this new strut seems to sit so far below the knuckle even after compressing the strut somewhat I couldn’t get it on. I bought them off a 1992 Mazda 626, I believe these fit?

I believe that they have to be a 626GE, but I’m not sure what year the GE came out?

The advert is listed at GE, but wasn’t 100% sure as I believe that’s the year it crossed over. I have attached the link below.

Are you able to measure any fixed points between the coil overs and standard shocks to see if there is a difference?

I might have some rear shocks, but no access until at least the weekend.

Where are you based?
