Rear Top Mount

[paul_tomo]

Morning all, on Monday this week I fitted tein coilovers on my car as well as drop links ball joints tie rod ends etc all has been ok with them until early this morn on my way home from work there was a slight knock from rear when I went over a bump, this morn when iv got up iv gone out to check every thing was tight as the knock seamed to come from inside the boot and iv come across this

this is the other side so you can see the difference

All nuts are still tight and every thing looks like it should do other than the top mount is sitting far to high, has anyone got any ideas whats gone wrong? Its cost me a small fortune this week the car with stuff going wrong when I was doing suspension then the next day the radiator decided to explode im nearly at boiling point with it lol

With the amount of threaded section protruding it make me think you have fitted the wrong type of coilover.

Cheers for the reply, the standard struts had similar threaded section on them, these coilovers are the advance street so have all the shock adjustment via a screw type bit ontop of the thread

Has the spring broke ?

[paul_tomo]

Hi mate, no the spring is still intact

Well stripped the rear today and found what was up this little clip

had moved from where it should be seated (top finger) to where my bottom finger is

2 second job fitting back in place fitted coilover back on car and problem is now sorted
