Recently assembled new rear shocks, Bilsteins.
100# springs, new rubber parts, stock and new lower perches. I assembled them without springs compressed, and tightened the factory nut assembly (#10 PET) until tight. I believe it is threaded on all the way. Then temporarily slid new rubber bits over the top……my questions are: My donor shocks had some plastic washers under the hats, do I reuse them? Do I need any jounce rubber pieces? (Have never seen them used on any of the cars I have parted, or worked on) Last question, the new nylock nut doesn’t look like it will catch the nylon? Should I use the top nuts I removed from old shocks? I assume the nylon lock nuts would be preferred. Attached image(s)
