jord294 89 Posted August 3, 2009 hi people i'm currently in the process of building up my gaz coilovers, which are being fitted to my gti while fitting the mounting kit, should there be a flat washer underneath the domed cup hope you understand what i mean ? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted August 3, 2009 No, if it is where the arrow points that's the bearing, there's no washer where it seats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jord294 89 Posted August 3, 2009 the domed cap mounts on top of the strut on top of the bearing. but in the peugeot strut top kit, there is a washer which has the same diameter as the top of the strut rod, and looks like it should go underneath the domed cap as a kind of strengthener your probably right baz. as it doesn't show it in the picture cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_turnell 134 3 Cars Posted August 3, 2009 Pretty sure the big washer goes on top of the insert as shown with the right arrow.... then just fit everything else on, pretty sure thats how i did mine the other week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CosKev 16 Posted August 3, 2009 There is a big washer that is NOT shown on that diagram Pretty sure Welshpug confirmed it the other week on someones thread Deffo was a washer on mine when stripped,goes over the piston/insert part of shock absorber after bump stop is slid on. It slides down the smaller diameter on the top of piston/insert and sits on the wider part of insert As said,this goes on before any of the top mount/bearing etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 243 3 Cars Posted August 4, 2009 There is a big washer that fits into the top of the bump stop before the top spring pan etc is fitted & a little earth tab which sits in the cup washer under the top nut. Neither of which are shown it in that picture though. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh yes, now i see the right hand arrow, there's usually a washer here, under the top nut thread on the plain shank iirc. It's fairly big and sits in a recess in the bump stop.
