But it's too damn cold to go out & take another.
The pass side Bilstein insert inner shaft. That's missing chrome & metal. It's not bent or anything, just a bit of spalling..WTF? We're gonna find out how good Bils warantee is. These are only a year old....give or take. Attached thumbnail(s) |

When the suspension is compressed to normal height, those dings are right at the caps on the tubes....near as I can figure.
The upper bushings in my strut tubes are worn, apparently. There is wiggle between the bushing & tube. Apparently, this cause the shaft to bind on the cap of the tube (deflection from straight) There is no visiable wear on the cap, but that's about all I can figure. My new (to me) strut housings have no wiggle when everything is seated. I didn't have these problems with little (225) R spec tiars.....but I gots em' now. I'll send em' off to Bill West to have the rods replaced & see if they put the screws to me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) |
