Circlip failed. See post above your last.

[aidan2112]

Great chaps cheers
 

[aidan2112]

it says that coilovers dont need the circlip?

[Screech16v]

I take it you running coilovers then. You must have missed something on assembly then like a small washer,im not to familiar with coilovers sorry bud.

[aidan2112]

where abouts would the washer go, i vaguely remember there being one on the other side lol

[tweed]

Coil over spring cap and bolt should stop that happening.


By the way you only need to undo the top nut to change mounts. They pull of and push on. Can't go wrong 

[Screech16v]

Pull it off bud and get a few pics up if it is not apparent whats wrong.
