you are missing like a washer or whatever i forgot exactly what it was called

 

Before you put the top mount with bushings in place, did you put one of the large washers on first? Like #15 in this pic...

 

yes you are missing #15, it's not a regular flat washer either.

 

Most likely, you forgot to install #15.

OT: Is that a CF muffler on your intake? Or is that the eBay version on the AEM V2? Never seen an intake like that before...

Koni gives you a flat washer to put under the cup washer for the bushing.

 

First time I did any kind of suspension work, the same thing happened

 

yea, I did forget to put #15 on, cause my old Tom motor sport didn't need them cause they had there own cup that replaced the washer.

but luckely I still had the washer from the previous install.

thanks alot guys

Knock off of the Top Fuel intake.

 

yeah thats what happend to me when i had a crappy shop do my install
you need a washer

 

you need part #15

 

alright, I took everything apart, put in washer 15# and it fixed that problem but now it seems like the threaded part of the strut isn't tight at all. I didn't drive my car yet, but when I press down on the bumper my car is'nt stiff at all (half of stock) and see the rubber expande and my strut go higher.

what gives ?

 

Are the inner and outter rubber grommets installed correctely?
Both number 7's in the illustration..

 

I would say you are missing number 10.

 

****, now I have to miss work tomomow

I'm missing # 7,11,8,10,12,14

I'll take a crack at it tommorow morning

 

hahahaha

 

Yup I believe its #15... my friend had the same problem when installing his tein setup. We were baffled for about 15min.

it looks like he stacked both on top of each other...

 

thats what happen to one of they guys here.

 

what you gotta do is take everything apart....

then put it back exactly how the pictures says

 

just be grateful you didnt close the hood and then put the car down or you would have 2 nice shock sized dents/holes in the hood.

 

 

lol oops.
