johnc Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Disassemble and inspect. Make sure the gland nut is not bottoming on the strut tube threads. Throw a 1.5" OD washer on the bottom of the strut tube and reassemble to see if that solvers the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Will do. Gonna tear it down again........I'm so pissed that I didn't slot the brake line support bracket in the strut to allow me to remove the caliper and swing the strut out without detaching the brake line (and having to bleed everything again!). I have 20/20 hindsight. Maybe I can then find a part number on my strut inserts or at least some identifying features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srgunz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ha. I also have the exact same thing going on with the left rear. Everything looks good, so I will just have to disassemble like John says. (when it warms up enough that is.) I have those aluminum offset bushings on the inboard control arms. Need to look at those.

RebekahsZ Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Everybody I know, including me, has gotten rid of those metal bushings. The are way more noisy than camber plates and offer very little adjustability for the trouble. A lot of times I ask questions already having a clue of what is needed, but I learn something everytime I ask a question. And it is really nice to have my parts and tools together before I tear into something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
