I am going to pull my rear coil overs later this week to see what I messed up, but thought I would ask for ideas in the meantime. Putting my car together after being apart for a really long time, and I noticed my rear coil over shock studs are pushing through the mount into the trunk way too far - so far that I can't tighten the nut enough to secure it. I am guessing my top hat is not stopping the shaft soon enough. A pic of my shock before installing is as seen. Note I have the top hat and first bushing below the shock support, and bushing, washer, and nut above the support (in the trunk). Am I missing something? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks! |

It looks like you are missing the washer that goes between the top hat and the lower bushing. It sits on the step in the shaft and keeps the shaft from pushing though the bushings. |
