My crx currently has tokiko struts and H&R springs...they were already on the car when I bought it. The problem is that when I went to jack up the back I heard a poping sound. When I took the back tire off I found this...




What I am wondering is when I let me car back down will it just pop back into place. I dont know much about suspension and springs have always scared me. What do I need to do?

 

You need to make sure that the top of the spring goes back into that spring cup. BTW, is the rubber piece atop the spring still there?

come on guys help me out here. I need to let me car down...

 

Just place it into place and let it down slowly..watch it and if it doesnt go into place go back up and try again.

It's a rubber isolator cup.

Number 14 in this diagram.

Yup...that's what you've got to do.

 

the rubber is there....don't worry just push the spring to the side so it's centered and it will go back in when you lower it. Don't worry about the springs cause when jacked up like that those short springs have no tension on them.

 

I didnt think the springs would have been that easy to move. But I guess now that I think about it there is no pressure on them when the car is jacked up. Either way I fixed the problem. Thanks.

 

dont worry about it ist happened to me before, if it doesnt go back in place wen u bring it down just drive around for a bit and it wwill pop back in place...it works for me all the time
