My R53 had a clunking noise coming from the front right. When I took the strut off I found that the spring seat had unscrewed from the bottom of the strut. It appears to be working. Has anyone els ever seen this? I am trying to decid if I should replace it. If I do I will do both sides.
Hey Lee, maybe you could clean things up & use some loctite 620 stud & bearing mount to hold it in place. Better living through chemistry. Worth a try & a whole lot less expensive that Colin's coils. But if you are flush with cash I understand they are the way to go.
I love Colin’s coilovers. That’s what Mark put on the Helmet. No coilovers for the R53. I called Koni to see what they thought. The guy I talked to said if it kale unscrewed it would lose its gas charge. So I guess I am stuck replacing it. I think it’s probably best to do it in pairs. Not trying to be cheep but it needs new tires and I planed to get some better rims at the same time. This eats into that budget.
Yes but only for the person that bought them. I ran into this with the rears. I bought the car when it was 2 years old, the previous owner put them on. When I called Koni they said I had to be the one that bought them. The rears weren't Kong's fault. The moron that installed them welded on the shaft of one.
Whoa - why would anyone do that? Crazy. Hit me up on the Koni's, I maybe able to get a deal on them and will be happy to check.
W T F ? Really? But.... Nope never mind. No point in asking. The intelligence in the world is a constant, but the population is increasing.
