OK.... this is wat i ve found out abt the rear tower strut that goes onto the top of the rear suspension.
Two rubbers are used to secure the top section of Jazz rear shocks. These two rubbers are positioned in between of the car body. A washer is put on the top of the rubber then its bolted. Now when u wanna put the rear boot bar, u place the bar on the top of the washer and bolt it.
Here lies the problem. A metal cylinder tube is inserted on the top of each rear shock and this cylinder tube is then inserted in between of the rubbers. When the road is uneven, these cylinder tube would move up and down cos the rubber flexs. If the struts are tighten too tight, the rubber is pressed down and on uneven road, the metal cylinder tube will touch the washer under the strut making irritating metal clunking noise. however, the tighter the struts are bolted, the better the rear handles at the corner.
I hope i make myself clear. Its quite hard to explain clearly. My question is:
is there anyway to tighten the struts tight for better corner while preventing the clunking noise cos i tell u, it makes a lot of a difference if the strut is really tighten.
