carrots 1 Posted May 27, 2014 just fitted my summer wheels which is a killer as i live in a flat and have to carry them up and down the stairs.when i checked for play it looks like the strut tops need doing again as ive got up and down play they have only done about 4k max,span the wheels an i can hear a catching noise ,i think its rust on back of disc.i dont mind the discs to much but getting sick of changing strut tops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carrots 1 Posted May 27, 2014 i think the last set were first line but had the genuine part number stamped on them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted May 27, 2014 Unfortunately, having the right number on them means nothing :( I think new ones aren't very expensive from the dealers. The only reason they would fail would be down to incorrect assembly of the strut top parts or the wrong compound, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrots 1 Posted May 27, 2014 ive got them cheap jom coilovers,is it possible to get poly type.i didnt think it was possible to fit them wrong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted May 27, 2014 If you don't do the nuts up properly, you get movement that the mounts aren't designed to accommodate. Anything is possible mate :) If you have really firm or reduced travel suspension, then you can easily wear out the mounts. Do you have the bumpstops fitted?

carrots 1 Posted May 27, 2014 i am sure jom coilovers come with bumpstops fitted as standard.maybe i should check the nuts i think the play is in the bearing i do get a clunk from the front Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
