Hi ,
i found an issue that i think it´s not ok. The upper mount of the rear shocks has two rubber bushings. I believe the buschings should be pressed together from the nut on top of the schock. On my car this is not so. The upper rubber piece is loose an can be moved and turned. Here is a pic and a video that shows what i mean. Any thoughts how this must be?  https://youtu.be/4fTn4ur3C0w Regards Michael |

My money is the #10 is sitting higher due to a difference in the way the new shock extension is machined. Compare the “shoulder” depth on the old shock to the new. I’d bet you find the new shock is not machined as deep and it makes 10 sit higher. This is why the washer will not hold the rubber.

This is why the washer will not hold the rubber. no, #10 is to protect the seal. This has no affect to the problem mentioned above. You just have to remove this thing when you want to disassemble #11 from the strut. Michael |
