Ride Height Adjuster Problems!!!
Posted: January 3rd, 2011, 11:01 pm
I know it's not easy to get the springs through the adjuster, but I've been working on just getting the springs in for two days straight with absolutely nothing to show for it... Starting to get frustrated.
I've tried using grease to make the springs stick together, putting them in in sections, one at a time, using a rubber band, using the original middle section as a template and putting rtv to hold the springs together, etc etc etc
The middle piece looks like it might be aluminum? Is it possible that the middle part warped when I welded it in place?
To make matters worse, I took out the bolt and now it won't go back in! Further evidence of warpage?
Sooo..... what should I do now? I can run a tap through the hole.. Anyone know what threading that is?
But what about the springs? Anything else I should try before I cut the darn thing out and (carefully) weld in a new one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
