So I'm very happy I just put on my new S Techs, and I go to put the car back on the ground, and it looks great. (will post pics later today) But once its on the ground the rubber strut cap starts to gap from the wheel well.

Anybody have any ideas? thanks, brian.

Time Attacks are cool, I'm ready to see those on the car with the drop, nice

What is happening when you put the car down ?I'm not understanding.

you are talking about the bump stops?

no, on the inside there is a rubber cap that covers the top of the strut. that cap is rising up, so there is then a gap between it and the where it is supposed to sit. i'll try to get some pics but im not at my house.

here are some pics of the problem i'm having. took the car out for a spin everything felt ok, but i'm still trying to fix it.

thanks, b.

Oh, the first one is how its supposed to look, then the following two are how it looks now.

Are you sure you reassembled the strut/spring properly?

brickhardmeat · 05-14-2007, 11:00 PM

Everything went back on the way it came off. me and my brother-in-law and i took everything on and off at least 3 or 4 times. i dont know but i'm gonna talk to a few people i know about it.

brickhardmeat · 05-14-2007, 11:09 PM

Slummy · 05-14-2007, 11:15 PM

no, that went back on, notice the gap in the bottom two pics compared to the top one.

This happened to someone else on the forums about 6 months ago.... I remember seeing pictures very similar to this. All I could suggest is searching around... might take a while. But i *do* remember that the concensus was that it's not normal. Good luck!!
