Can I get a confirmation of what else, if anything, I need as I assemble the coil over kit?
Is there some sort of bushing/washer that lives on the shaft UNDER the top spring hat that supports it? All I got was the plastic washer that slides down the shaft and sit on the shock body. I watched this video and nothing is mentioned or used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGIrZ1sJVdc It just seems like there'd be something more so I figured better to ask and be safe than sorry. Thanks in advance. Chris Attached thumbnail(s) |

Yeah, they don't have any stops. I think they might be this way to avoid scuffing the damper shaft since the springs are relatively self aligning as they compress.
As an aside-it's kinda nice having an office I can keep car parts under the desk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

I'll claim I'm a genius for wondering about this. Now, where's my 9/16" drill bit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Seriously, THANKS so much for this. |
