Hey guys/girls,
I have installed my coilover suspension. They consist of ae86 struts, kyb agx shocks, 8kg springs, camber hats and t3 camber tops. While it handles real well one thing bugs me is that the front passenger coilover keeps knocking very loudly over bumps and slightly on smooth roads. I have had a look at the suspension and it looks great to me nothing wrong. But I may have looked in the wrong places. In my opinion before installing the suspension I dont think I had the right camber hats as there was a massive amount of gap between the spring and the actual camber hat. The car is an ae86 and it sits right above the tyre. If anyone can help me sort out this nik it would be much appreciated :)
Thanks

its either guna be loose gland nuts (they hold your shock insert inside the strut) or you havn't got a spacer made up to fit between the camber tops and the top hats (t3 design flaw) :2thumbs:

The gap between the spring and the camber hat just sounds like the normal non cpative spring issue.
