I Have BC Racing coilovers,BR Type.2 of the 4 have blown cartridges,front right and left rear.
I'm not surprised because I drive on some crappy bush roads.Ebay sell the cartridge for 150 and the rebuild looks straight forward.
Ok,as I was searching the net someone wrote that you can blow out a cartridge by not having the correct pre load.Is this true?
I adjusted /changed the pre load to minimal on all 4 corners when I adjusted the height thinking I was possibly making the ride softer...
I'm 99% sure its the cartridge. I was checking the lower ball joints by the meathod in the video below and a sloshing of fluid can be heard in the 2,the front one is worse than the rear.
They don't knock and the car drives/feels fine,no different.But I guess it may just completely crap out one day,do they? Better to fix it?
