Hmmm... Anyone seen this before? On both sides of my car, the spring seems to deflect (sometimes?) and rub the shock body and adjustable collar. The threads are ruined on the collar.
Any ideas? -Steve Attached thumbnail(s)

What do you have in the shock towers, stock rubber bushings?
The arc that the shock moves through puts side loads into the perch/spring because the bushings don't follow the shaft movement like spherical bearings would. Perhaps that's the source of the sleeve wear. |
