OK,
Lets say that I may have purchased the wrong bilstiens way back when....over 10 years ago. The ones I have up front have a small round bar/tube on the bottom that looks like it is supposed to fit in the bottom of the strut to secure the bottom from moving sideways. Well, I have been running them...and they dont git in either the 71 strut or the 73 strut (which I have now due to upgrading) This little bar/tube on the bottom makes it so the threaded top nut never goes all the way down and IC some thread... the struts I think rattle...cant be anything else at this point. I ran them really low, yet they still hold tight..gotta fight to get them out...so I assume the charge is still there. I want to get that optional soft ride back up front and have the option to go as stiff as what I have now... I like the soft setting on the koni, but I am unsure if that is on the reds or the sports... I will pull them out shortly and post a pic and part numbers so we can figure this out. I was going to cut off the bar/tube on the bottom just to try it....might solve some issues. Rich |
