Hi there, not much of a poster on here, tend to read more than I write!! Anyway, I\'ve ended up having to replace the front suspension top mounts on my FD as it failed an MOT due to the existing ones being corroded, and one being split!! After searching high and low, I managed to get some pillowball replacements on special order from Tein, the coilovers are now obsolete and all parts have been discontinued!! Told it would be 6-8 weeks for manufacture and delivery, cue the Rex sitting on the drive going nowhere for what seemed an eternity!! Anyhow, I finally recieved them today.
I just have a quick question for those a bit more knowledgeable than myself. The small metal bush/collar, does that slide over the top of the strut and into the mount from the bottom, or does it go in from the top?? Might sound thick but I honestly have no idea. Didn\'t get a fitting guide and can\'t find one on tinternet!!!
Cheers for your time!!
