Alright so installed 2 rear monoflex coilovers on my car, (non brand) and it was looking good

but just checked the struts and it was ****ed.

does anyone know how to solve this? it is at the moment on the highest setting on the right side, and 1.5 inches lower on the left hand side (the one where its sticking up even more). i have no idea why its doing this, the spring seems to short for the shock


this side is highest setting

there is ment to be a washer on the bottom between the crome shaft and brass tube that has been slid over it. this washer then holds the bushes in place


do you get what I mean ?

Yep, Its quite similar to the top washer, just goes under the top hat.

Just take it all apart again and put one in each.

the washer will go where the green line is then 1 bush then the top mount, and the other bush and then the top washer and nut.
