[QUOTE="wc9922, post: 295031, member: 6000"] Did you check your absorber marking is aligned with the strut carried clamp bolt bracket? There's a decal marked R and L on the absorber, which u can see behind the disc brake with the car jacked up. Left side absorber must align letter L with the centerline of the clamp on the left hand side of the car and vise versa. Why? I don't know and I'm still trying to figure it out as well. Like this: [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/wca9922/sachs1.jpg[/IMG] Second thing is to make sure your springs are resting on the indent of the spring lower cup. Some get this wrong as well. See below: [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/wca9922/sachs2.jpg[/IMG] If you are going to do all this, let me know the results. [/QUOTE]
