Hey, that graphic looks wrong, the pictures look correct. The dust cap with the washer just below IT. I assembled it in the reverse of dis assembly. They're in between #7 and the mount.
Unless this car's previous owner had work done wrong of course.
I'm the same way. Then even after I reassemble correctly I still check to make sure I didn't F up. The mount was ok looking, but the strut I was able to move up and down with ease, and it also made a funky gritty noise, all of those dust covers on my car don't cover the strut rod, I'll be zip tying them to the strut this weekend. I'm hoping that since this strut was so bad that the clunking was coming from both of them. I'll know after I replace that one. Was just curious if that mount wiggle factor is normal.
I put it tight. I didn't torque it however. I'm going to pick up a torque wrench this weekend. My first one ever. I'm excited. should I get 3/8 or half? I've only owned gm vehicles and one honda and I was never really worried about torque specs, but now that I got a nice car I wanna keep it nice :cornut:
Hmmmmm. I've had some knocking noise from my let front since installing my front shocks. I used Real OEM for my diagram when assembling, because I didn't reuse any old parts and put everything together before swapping it all out. I've suspected my used sway bar links I bought might have been bad too. Just haven't had time, nor the desire, to figure it out yet.
