Urgent coilover fitting help.

[chris_cup]

I'm in the middle of fitting the rear adjusters to the back of the cup but I'm unsure of which way up the threaded cylinder goes. They are fk konigsports.

I thought the end which has the shallower hole would be on the bottom attached to the rear beam, but the old rubber won't fit in, but it fits I. Perfect on the other end.

Swallow end

Deep end

Thanks

You dont use the rubber over the spring locator, well atleast i didnt on my KW's and all has been well. Im 99.9% sure it will be shallow side to the rear beam, but we are a spray shop lol, but i dabble.

Same on the KTR adjusters I only have the rubber spring "seats" at the top of the spring on both sides

No sure which way up your adjuster should be - I'd imagine it would be the shallow end at the bottom so the bolt goes through it lol

the shallow end sits on the lip on the rear beam as it locates onto the spigot when pulled down. so the shallow end sits on the rear beam

Thanks guys, got it sorted. When I put the shallow end to the beam it wouldn't sit square on the beam.

So in the end I got sick and bolted it up and it squashed itself onto the beam.

Lesson for today, if it doesn't go......make it!

Thanks again guys.
