I’ve been searching, but the results don’t match what the shop is telling me. A little help?
Bullet pointing this out as not to waste anyone’s time:
’83 245 Turbo / m46
Purchased with clunking KYBs
- Shop is installing a set of Bilstein HDs for me (Yeah, I know, shame. Car is far away from me.)
- Tech says strut tubes are missing spacers, so the HDs are too short—creating clunk.
- He can’t locate spacers to purchase.
I read on TB that spacers are supposed to come out when installing HDs. Is this wrong?
Is it possible that the car has the wrong strut tubes?
Or, if I'm wrong, anyone have spacers available?
*Tech is also installing 15A strut plates as well.
Thanks for any help!
