Kingcarr Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Hi, I don't suppose anyone has had this issue before? The suspension has got a little bit excited and poked through! How do I fix this? Thanks in advance! Nathan Quote
mikey4410 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 you will need a whole shock i am guessing by the state of that very possibly the springs collapsed Quote
Ollieh17 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 i have some rear shocks available with springs if you need some buddy Quote
Kingcarr Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 I had a quick check of the springs when I jacked her up and changed the wheels, they look pretty new, green Tein lowering springs! Ill PM you Ollieh17 Cheers, Nath Quote
akyakapotter Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Just need an extra washer to put inbetween to stop it pushing through common mistake lots of people do it. Quote

Kingcarr Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 I only got the car on Saturday and this baby popped up on the sunday! where abouts should the washer be? would Halfords have one? any idea on size etc? Quote
jimmymac101 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Home base or b&q or you local nuts and bolts place starletsr? Had the same prob on his NA and £1-2 later it was fixed simple fix mate James Quote
StarletSr? Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Yea you need a washer exactly the same as the one on top to go under the topmount Quote
akyakapotter Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Yes mate one under one on top problem solved Quote
Kingcarr Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 cheers guys! ill check that both haven't been put on top! is it possible to unbolt the damper, jack it up to decompress the spring and do it that way? I used this method on my MX5 but not sure if its possible on these? or am I going to need spring compressors? Quote
akyakapotter Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I'd use clamps always have though safety first Quote
Kingcarr Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 All sorted with a pack of washers from B&Q! cheers guys! Quote
