Hi
Does anyone have a ELSWIN diagram or image of the front shock setup / breakdown of parts.

I've been lowering the front today and I seem to have a little issue now I've put it all back together. I think I may have put something back in the order !!

Ta in advance

Rob

It's about as straight forward as can possibly be... Should be hard to put something back together wrong.

That's exactly what I thought, but when I lowered the car the top mounting pushed right up and you wouldnt be able to close the bonnet, so something is seriously wrong.

I'll take all apart tomorrow and have another go.

Thanks ! All fixed now. Car lowered and I'm really happy with the results. Ride quality is still good and doesn't look like an overloaded car.

What vent wrong then?

So basically I fitted the metail insert / washer that fits inside the top mount on top of the top mount.

I have no excuse other than stupidity !

Passenger side shock /strut was a real pain to get out but all done now and here's the results.



And I know the car needs a good clean !

The main thing is that you got it fixed.
