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 This post has been edited by Ve1Ls1dEvolutioN: Sep 1, 2007 - 9:58 PM |
