Suspension queries.

[dave2233]

Hey guys and gals,

I put lowered springs in my car the other day (vu commo if it matters) but now there is a gap between the top of the strut where the little plate with the rubber
ring mounts to the top of the spring and the body. I was just wondering if there is supposed to be a gap, and/or if i need to buy a different plate to accommodate the lowered suspension.

Cheers,
Dave.

Did you replace the rubber Strut Tops & Bearings while the strut was out?
Did you put the strut top plates & washes back in the same way?
Did he strut go back into the tower properly?

As you can see quite a few questions and depending on the answer could be a problem... but having said this, installing lowered springs should not affect the plate at the top.

If you're unsure take it to a suspension specialist for a quick look/inspection.
