Jom Coilover Shocks ?
« on: 08 October 2012, 21:32 »
So basically my Jom shocks are fcuked (fronts) and its only been a month and a half, they move up down left right, all over the gaf, it's only meant to go up and down, not left, right nonsense.

Just wanted to know has anyone else had this same problem.

I have ordered new ones and will be refunded once the old ones have been sent back, just the hassle of taking them on and off  :angry:

so how would i take apart the shocks ?

and would this void my warrenty ?

could this also be the reason for the vibration when turning right ?

should i call up and cancel my purchase ?

Im in confusion here or should i wait for the new ones get them tightened up and send the old ones back ?

Everything is on that link i sent you mate i am sure it will solve alot of your problems.

I have put threadlock on mine before i up the coilovers on the car and i hav covered 20k with no problems.

Did you put new bearings and top mounts in when you put the coilovers on?

yup new bearings, new top mounts, im just going to wait for the new ones to come, tighten them before i put them on, should i also glue them or ?

And then send the old ones back for a refund :)
