What I will say is the top of your coilovers looks different from the rest - have you got helper springs? Wonder if they are interfering | |

Just had this back from GAZ but doesn't really help me much. | |

When i first fitted them i mounted it exactly the same way as a normal damper whether i used the bearing with or without the cup but as you can see there is not enough thread showing through to tighten it securely. | |

That's what I'd expect to see, that's how I remember the struts for corsa's looking. I personally havent worked on one in such a long time. | |

Might be worth contacting GAZ direct- they have been pretty sound in the past. | |

Iv even thought that could this cone be the wrong one because ideally i could do with being 1 or 2 cm taller. | |

Tried that Jed,to be able to use the bearings i need to use 2 on each coilover so one acts a spacer but surely shouldn't have to do this as then the rubber damper part of the mount is miles away from the top part of the cone so it wouldn't be doing its job. | |

or if your willing to get some tm's, get onto Klint Turner (via fb) he's mr compbrake himself | |

try that thing i said, use a standard oem bearing (just the bearing bit) place it on the lip of the inner gaz damper upside-down, it doesnt as such act as a bearing, more so a spacer, and it fits perfect and flush... the rest was straight forward for me but thats the comp brake tm's | |

This the order i have it in and you can see inside the cup on the top where the thread ends so wont be able to tighten it securely. | |

Aye Jed loads of play when pressing down on the front of the car. | |

The squeaking noise in the rears can sometimes be from rubbing - have you checked? You are supposed to cut / smash back the arch for fitting the rears. | |

is that moving with the car on the ground too? | |

Got round to removing the alloy bit in the middle and fitted the bearing like advised and all looked well until the car was lowered back to the ground and now this silver cup has a lot of play and knock when pressing the front of the car down :( still not right. | |
