You bought APEX springs, thats mistake one.

Are you sure the springs are in the right way round?

 

[172lover]

are they brand new springs or second hand?

CS, recently, ftl.


They fit the reverse of the way you stripped them down?

 

[avit]

they are from my mates 172 cup.he gave me his shocks aswell.

 

[avit]

i didnt strip them down my friend did as he has fitted springs to his car as i did the backs he did the fronts.i have since took the fronts of but dont no wich parts go were.

 

[marinemackay2003]

take them to a garage to get them done

As by looks of things you don't know what your doing, and neither does your mate either IMO

At least that way they will get fitted properly and won't trash your cars suspension any further (apex ftw) LOL
Not trying to be nasty btw

 

[avit]

no that is what im going to do i should have took it garage in the first place tbh.but would rely like to see a diagram of what it should look like if enybody on here has the time to show me as i have spent about 2 hours looking online

 

[Jordi17]

to be fair its probably best to get it done properly as its not ideal if they end up coming out whilst driving along.

 

[avit]

thing is i dont no if they are missing parts now or whats happend.why is there no pictures of everythink that gose together to fit them online ,.

 

[marinemackay2003]

there is a guide on here on how to do the full thing

Think you need to be a full member though

On iPod so don't know how to copy paste yet lol

But type this in to search

Guide - how to change/replace front worn suspension

That should bring it up for you

Don't know if that will work as your not a member, but Fubar's guide on fitting lowering springs is excellent, fully detailed and lots of pics!

 

[avit]

thanks guys yes they both worked.i think ino what was done rong.
staring from the top dose the rubber that sits on top of the shock bolt on to the shock or just sit on it ???/

 

[James28]

If you mean this bit:

It bolts on yes, it should look like it does in the above photo.
Then when you push the shock through the hole in the chassis, the top mount also bolts on to the same thread.

 

[marinemackay2003]

Beat to it

If you ain't bolted it down that will be where your mate has gone wrong

Nothing holding the springs down other than the top mounts

 

[avit]

just to let you guys all no car is sorted what was rong

1)got a firend to help on somethink i could do
2)let my friend do it
3)what was rong my friend he put the bearing part underneath the first rubber instead of inbetween the two rubber mounts


cheers and if enybody ever needs a diagram off how things should fit go to gether or work then just go to renault they will print you off a diagram FTW

 

[James28]

Glad you got it sorted mate.
TBH, if you pay your £10 to become a full member, most of the guides you'll ever need are in the guide section on here!
