Topic #51700 11 posts Started by Ve1Ls1dEvolutioN
sup guys....i need help...i installed KYB GR-2 shocks in the front with Eibach Pro-Kit...when i installed the front the springs didn't line up with the strut mount and when i turn the wheel i hear the clunking sound....

am I missing something?? i previously had KONI with Ground Control...threw out all the stuff from the previous OEM strut assembly...what goes after the spring?? is there something between the spring and the strut mount so the wheel wont clunk??

ANY HELP/ADVICE WOULD BE APRECIATED
THANX

did you put a top mount on? did you grease the bearings?
yeah, lots of grease is needed.

and you did put your bumpstops back in, right?

x2 also did you put the bump stops back on to the shock as well???? you could cut the bump stops a little to aid in lowering.

didn't have a rubber lining...must have thew them out when i put koni's on 3 years ago...SO THERE IS A RUBBER ON TOP OF THE SPRING?? i'm gonna get a strut assembly from a junkyard and just take that part out...
the rubber stops the spring from binding on the top mount
yeah i guess thats what i'm missing...cuz it grinds really bad when i turn the wheel and the car is not even moving...
