How coilovers shouldn't look

[Eddbmxdude]

Ok guys,

Went to get my bike out of the car this morning and found the shock top cover laying on the boot floor. I picked it up and went to put it back on and was greeted with this!!



I didn't get chance to have a proper look (Was already late for work), anyone know what might have happened to cause this?
I used the car last night and didn't notice anything different, its still sat at the height it always is 

Cheers,
Edd

thats coz your coil is still sat where its ment to be. looks like you top mount needs replacing lol.
worries me abit though as my front top mount has been making clonking sounds for anout a year now and i just ignor it.
after seeing that i think its time i changed it.

I don't think that is a top mount problem, if you check I think there should be a circlip fitted.

How odd, I just logged onto Facebook and saw the same photo, my mate had commented on it.

Yeah the more I think about it the more I think it is the clip. Will take a look after work.

Steve Tse, he rides a lot of trials so presume he is a bike buddy of yours.

Didnt realise you were so local, if you need help give me a shout.

Ah Steve, yeah. I was riding with him last night actually, was on the way back from MK that this must have happened, haha.
Cheers, got a mate coming over after work to give me a hand, will let you know how I get on!
