Is this correct? With pics
« on: 15 June 2009, 18:15 »
I'm setting up my rear sus and cant remember if this is correct.

Should part 9 be above or below part 21, the circlip?


I cant compare with the sus i have on as they are coilovers. This look fine? -



Also what are these three studs for? Came with my new rocker cover gasket - are they longer for the timing belt cover and earth strap?


Thanks

I am sure that is right as it gives the bumpstop something to act against.

no the washer goes on top of the circlip, this is what the spring top cup sits on.
