my passenger rear coilover dampener adjustment knob doesnt stop turning.

all the others stop once they reach the heighest or lowest setting, but the rear passenger keeps spinning, and doesnt stiffen the dampening force.

Is it blown?

I bought the car with them on it.

If you send them to me, I'll do a complete re-work of them and return then, but be warned they may look like 105k old stock S13 springs, shocks and struts when I'm done .

You say it's on of the rears? IIRC, the top has to be modified to fit without any clearance issues on a vert.

yeah, i noticed the knob is almost touching the bottom of a bracket, (probly IS touching.I think the car flexed at one point of time and that bracket came down on the knob and may have screwed something up ..
