hwvigo Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I am going back in with all my suspension and have come to the realization that I do not know if I should use the gland nut washers on my car. The whole reason I pulled it apart was to get rid of the clunk I had and after some digging around I found that the whole thing might be due to the gland nuts not being tight or the use of the washer that came with the Tokico blues I installed a few years ago any help would be great. car info : 1975 280z , Tokico hp blues,(( msa? lowering springs just being installed)) Thanks !

hwvigo Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Could having the washer on and not needing it cause a clunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ghtymaxXx Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Could having the washer on and not needing it cause a clunk? No, but you'd have slightly less thread engagement for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
