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!  |

Take off the rubber bushings and take a photo of all the parts. I couldn’t wait so I took the shocks off and put the dome washer in my original photos above the top hat which seemed to be a solid fit for keeping the shaft below the suspension support. Didn’t have my phone of course so no pictures. I do have the two rubber bushings you show but I do not have the metal piece that goes between the two. If it still sounds like I’m missing something let me know and I’ll take one off again and post pics. One step forward two steps back! |
