Hey,
I picked up a set of these coilovers. I noticed one front thrust washer has a little play in it. I have not installed them yet but wondering if it would cause issues . Would like to replace it or repair if possible. Has anyone had this issue on their setup before? I believe it could have been damaged by not being seated properly between the top mount and the plate for the spring. My setup is using the stock top mounts. Thanks, Martin |

Its not a trust washer but a rubber spring seat. since there is no weight on the coilover the spring will rotate freely and move laterally a bit if the rubber seat is a little worn.
You can get new ones from TEIN California. It could have been damaged or it could just be worn --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
