Gaz Struts........ and the spanner

[FlashCadillac]

got my new struts and dampers toady....

 

 

so the spanner in the middle for tightening the height addjustment up... should i have got two of them as there is 2 nuts

 

i only got one and dont understand how im ment to tighten two nuts together with one spanner

[Mr Sam]

you tighten one up (the one next to the spring), then the other against it so they sort of lock together and dont move?

[johnny_h]

It's not rocket science lol!

[FlashCadillac]

yeah... i know the theory but when i turn the bottom one the one on top turns aswell...

 

 

i might be different when there is a car sat on top of it i suppose

lol. Turn the top one first. This sets the ride height then turn the bottom one so it is tight against the top one locking it in place.

[mk1matt]

idealy you need two, one to hold the top ring and the other to turn the bottom ring to lock out on the top ring.

 

hope this helps

You'll find that you can actually hold the other one with your hand while you tighten the locking one.

They look fooking lovely mate, how much did they cost? I just tightened mine with my hands! Done the trick though.

think they were just shy of £500 for front, back and the alloy roller top mounts

 

 

i think thats what they were... i was trying not to listed to the doris when she told me... and i didnt read the recipt
