holy crap dude, im sorry i have forgotten about you.. and i hope you have fixed your problem.. i think i see where u are assembling them wrong. check these picks out

ilikerice · 04-13-2011, 06:28 PM

its a 1/8 hex key btw

ilikerice · 04-13-2011, 06:32 PM

i think your missing a silver spacer still.. its as tall as one of the silver nuts and inner diameter is the size of the nonthreaded shaft. about 1/8 thick in the walls

contact Megan to see if the sell the spacer or else stack some 12mm washers to take up the space but IMO i'd try see if Megan sells the spacer

Sorry to revive an old thread, but it seems I am having the same problem. I have installed the coilovers twice to make sure I have done everything right and referred to the pics ilikerce has posted, but mine pop out and leave the gap like the OP posted in the first picture. Also, no matter how much I tighten down the nuts everything moves when driving and is loose. Any insight? I feel like I am missing one of those sleeves. I bought the coilovers used and only one came with the sale so I did not use the sleeves at all. Could that be my problem?

I think you are missing the silver cylinder spacer that fits on the top of the shaft, then the rubber boot goes on that. Then the huge silver washers then the nut.

These are the OEM ones that need to be transferred over. The Coilovers do not come with these. I forgot these the first time also.

Thank you! That picture was just what I needed. It seems like I only have one of those spacers. Does anyone know where I could get another?

At the same time I'm thinking I should have them. I was running tokico blues before and they must have used the same spacers right?

yea, its an oem part. none of the aftermarket kits come with it.
