Then I remembered that when I replaced the shocks a while back, one had this rubber sleeve (pn# 00454002871) and the other had none.
you knew that yet you installed them anyway ? I gotta ask why you would do that DC you dont adjust the front axle ride hight with the torsion bars ,axle dont go up and down the car body does have fun |

I found it and simultaneously remembered why I didn't use that rubber spacer. The spacer, IIRC, fits Boge shocks and as I stated earlier I have Bilstien shocks. The rubber spacer has 2 different I.D.'s. The larger opening will fit over the shaft but the other end is too small for the shaft to penetrate. So even with the full weight of the car on the strut it will not stick up enough to get a nut on it. Not by a 1/2". So no rubber spacer. But I did see this as soon as it came off. The nut was a good 6" out of the strut. I wondered if it came loose but decided I had neglected to tighten the nut because the nut on other shock was backed out about 1/2 way.

Looking back, I should have torn it down earlier but my thinking was "It's all new, so that can't be it"! Whereas it should have been, "Who installed this stuff"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Anyway, it's all good now and finally quiet sans those damned urethane bushings on the trailing arms. I see needle bearings in the near future.

Yep, totally misconstrued that to be the lock nut on top. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
