Well it seems I have run into yet another problem with my suspension. Im not sure how this happened, it could have been from hitting some sort of pot hole while the springs were still being worn in...I dont know. Ive been taking it pretty easy on the car thus far. Most of you know about the hat stud being sheered off, but this problem is new to even me. I will probably go ahead and order the group n hardended strut mounts tonight. However, it would be nice to have a set of the front top hats so I can actually drive my car while waiting for those to arrive... Left Strut Top, Sheered Bolt: Right Strut Top, Unnatural Mount Wear: But damn, it sure looks pretty on the outside :wtc: Thanks in advance, Alex hnoes:
My new thoughts on how this happened...the wheel rolled into an area lower than the street and the strut travelled further than the spring, when the wheel rolled back out of the area, the strut bottom came up and hit the spring, jittering the mount, causing the tear... :sigh:
You must have jump a bridge for that to happen. Well I guess asking for warranty service is out the question.
Heh, yeah I dont know how the fuck it happened, but I havent hit any major potholes. I popped off the cap, and the tear isnt on the inside of the mount, its just on the outside...somehow. Regardless...I will be ordering the group n top hats for all around either tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully all will be well soon. Until then, looks like I'm driving the Saabaru :wiggle:
Hah! I wish you'd join sooner, coulda saved me $300 :keke: My Group N Top Hats should be arriving today, yippe!
HAHA now your really gunna hate me.. i have a set of groupn mounts for sale too!! hehe just got some cusco 02r coils
yeah they will fit a wrx.. but I want to sell them as a package.. I have the STI take-off struts, JDM Pink springs, and GroupN mounts.. this would be an INSANE package for a wrx -- if your interested, let me know and we'll talk $
completely interested. I'm already buying Espelir Springs, but i want takeoffs and the mounts. so i'll probably buy the springs too adn sell them. I'll PM you...
the struts mounts and the pinks all sound nice. the whole schebang, we should talk prices if you havent sold them already.
Andrew - Pm'd you. Setup still sitting in the garage. I'm going to spend some time and try to clean them all up pretty tonight!
