Ye with the new ones you are best putting threadlock on not glue?  :undecided:

Go to the 5th page on the link i sent you and a member by the name of brammer. He has posted detailed pics of how to do it on a jom coilover.

I'm in the process of ordering new coilovers under warranty. I can't have the car off the road while they inspect the faulty ones. Who knows could take weeks.. I've asked if I can buy the fronts and send the faulty ones back but i haven't heard back from them yet.

i bought mine from venom motorsport, they allowed me to purchase front shocks and once received send back the old ones and i will then receive a refund, btw dubber do you get a bad wobble when taking turns ?

I see, hopefully that'll be the same case then, I bought mine from venom to. Yeah when turning right I get like a grinding vibration. When driving normally it just rattles and knocks. At slow speeds its the worst.

omg mines exactly the same, yeah give venom a call and sort this out, i've changed my rear wishbone bushes (powerflex) thinking it was that, took it to Elite Direct to change my passenger bearing, driveshaft and cv joint, they turned around and told me that its none of these its the shocks

Just thought I'd say that the problem was the coilovers. The old ones literally rattled in my hand when they came off! But of loctite on the news ones and touch wood they should be ok!

i had my shocks replaced for new ones and thread locked them straight away, but the hard vibration is still there im guessing its my passenger driveshaft and bearing, so they need replacing asap
