AdamB Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 What shocks is it?If they are oil filled they are most likely have shit themself, if gas filled you might have lost all the gas out of them through a crack/hole of some sort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletSr? Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Does that mean its snapped off? Can I just buy that then or do I need a whole part? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Who fitted the springs I'd say they weren't put on in the first play should be able to get some from a motor factors mate only a washer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I had this issue once, just nip to toyota, they usually stock them.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSr? Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I put the springs on last year and haven't had any problems? But when I go over bumps it does feel like I just ripped my teeth out. Thanks for your help I'll go get a new washer tomorrow (y) Edited June 8, 2012 by StarletSr?

akyakapotter Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Worth checking the other side aswell mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSr? Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 So i went to toyota this morning, said what i needed and he got a picture of the rear setup and there was no bottom washer? so i was a bit confused? Anyone? lolThink i might take both sides of tomorrow and compare and hope the working side has a washer and i can then go show them lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Mine has a washer top and bottem mate to stop it doing what yours has done just get a big washer and whip it on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The problem is you havent got the dust cover on, that contains the said washer what the top mount seats itself on.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Its part of the foam bump stop. That's the part you need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 im sure mine has the washer thats on the top underneeth aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) changed charls shockers at weekend, the foam part has that metal washer on the top of it. look in the third picture, the bump stop has no metal washer on the top of it. the bumpstop should be at the top of the shocker under the mount. After Jacking The Car Up To Have A Look Under.you can even see the brown rusty ring (lol) where the washer should be. Edited June 12, 2012 by Flaminsam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Just make sure its a snug fit around the piston otherwise it'll poke through again.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
