URGENT HELP. Suspension Pic Req.

[Rob]

I've changed my top mounts out from compbrake, back to renault, but glimpsing at a few pictures, where I can't quite see properly, I'm 99% sure my setup is missing something.

Has anyone got a pic of the full suspension setup for the 172???

My compression nut is sitting down far inside the "donut" so I'm quite sure I'm missing a vital part, which explains why i have started to get knocking, and have probably ruined by little metal "o-ring" already.

I can't seem to find a pic of the whole setup and could really do with it, not even in guides to take it off. I just seem to be missing a bit...

I'll be back on in 40 minutes once I've driven home from work, I hope someone can answer me. :S

Cheers all.

I layed out all the parts for the shock assembly and took detailed pictures in my guide.

I've already looked Dan, and the only part that is in your pic that is slightly hidden is the bit that I need.

I have no idea what it is, what it looks like, or how I get it?

Its the bit the compression nut (tiny thing 17mm nut) sits on top of, so that it doesn't disappear inside the donut.

Any idea what it is? I thought it was just a washer, but in your pic, I can sort of see a piece of metal? But barley.

 

[Rob]

Anyone?

You mean the thing under the nut in this pic?

It's a spacer that fits within the donut. About 10mm deep.

I don't have a Clio any more, otherwise I would go and take a pic for you bud...

If it's the thing the 17mm nut bolts down to, I'll have one Rob..

PM me.

 

[Rob]

Where the hell do I get that spacer?

It didn't come with a topmount kit FFS!!!!

Few more pics:

Number 4 in this pic

Number 5 in this pic

 

[Budgie]

Yeah, I've got one..

 

[Rob]

Two?

Please?

 

[Budgie]

Should be able to find them both. I'll go and check now, mate. (The car is at my Grandad's, so you'd better be grateful!) (;

 

[Rob]

More than greatful, Sir Budgie.

Just popping to the gym, I'll check this out again when I return, I reckon i've ruined the giant washer thing already though, f**k sake!

Oh and your grandad drives a CS? SRS? (I know they come on non sport too, but a man can dream) lol!

 

[Budgie]
