installed s-tech's, agx, problem in the rear..

[EstoMax]

heya,

i installed my agx/s-tech springs and in the rear there seeems to be a slight problem. well not slight, its annoying, there is massive clunking going on with the struts.. its like in the top part of the strut tower when i listen to it

heres a pic, there is about an inch clearance between strut bolt and the washer.. the bolt doesnt go any lower. thats passenger side btw. driver side the bolt touches the washer and the noise is only when going over bigger bumps, but its still there.. so wtf!!!

also. stock springs had these wierd bumper thingies between the coils.. what are those for? i left them out..

any ideas? if u need more info just inquire.

TIAmax

heres the wierd thingies the stock springs had.. the driver side (with more noise) had 2 of these, like in pic, the passenger side had just 1.. wtf are these for?!

spring spacers. More of the backyard/mullet/nascar modification handywork

tnx for reading, and lesson learned

i had that problem with my front right side, what i found out was that the spring wasnt sitting correctly on the strut, however, after i turned it a bit adn retightened it, it was fine, no more clunking

yep, just installed mine today, and you need all the bushings transferred. The gap in your picture is definetely from lack of some.

Yea I just did the same suspension swap, and I forgot the correnct order of the bushings and it gave me that problem too. Make sure you put the in the correct order!
