Putting my rear shocks back together and I have a couple shock blow-ups but they are not clear to me which washer goes where.
diagrams Heres what I have.. at least this was what I had in the "rear shock" baggie. (not pictured is the washer that goes on above the top rubber bushing ) does it go like this.. with the big washer that looks like a fender washer? or with the smaller one that is the same size as the bottom of the threaded bushing. #5 in diagram. the smaller washer seems to have been specially machined for something like it may have gone under the lower spring retainer on the original shocks, but I am putting on KYB shocks and there is a shoulder that the top spring retainer rests against. the recess in the washer does not fit over this shoulder. |

The rear bump stops are NLA. I just use the Koni competition bump rubbers....affordable too! I had some from the fronts that I put in. I just used contact cement and glued them into the top spring retainer. eventually I will go to bilstein rear shocks, I have bilstein for the fronts now. I will keep in mind the Koni Comp. bumpers for then. Thanks |
