I'm hoping somebody here can help. I've just replaced the strut top bushes in my VZ cross8 and after reinstalling the struts and taking it off the jack the cap moves up off the tower 5 to 10mm on both sides. I've pulled one back down and double checked the washers and assembly and can't fault it.
Any thoughts? Could the bushes be wrong? They are to fit VR throught to VF and from what I can gather the Cross8 bushes aren't any different to the ones used in these models. They pull up tight when it is on the jack, it's almost as if they are compressing too much when the jack is lowered or the metal tube is too long.
The bushes are Cozza brand (https://www.onlineautoparts.com.au/products/ZPN-02031)
I'm considering buying some nolathane bushes tomorrow to try them.
