This video randomly started playing and I watched it lol One very important point to check you missed … adjustment knob. Turn the knob all the way to one side. Make sure it comes to a stop after 20+ clicks (may want to research the coilover you’re buying) if it never stops, something is wrong. If it’s really hard to turn the knob, something is wrong.
Thank you so much brother! I found a car just like mine that has BC Racing Coils on it so this video helps a lot, im going there tomorrow. Hopefully they’re still there.
I bought a set of old tein used coilovers, back shocks compress and rebound well. The front right rebounds all the way slow but the left rebounds only half way and really slow. Any ideas?
Rust/corrosion is never a good sign. I would generally stay away because the corrosion will be progressive, but if you still want it, youre looking to see if it is only surface corrosion and it is not on any important component. Most common spot would be top of the strut tower where the water would sit on within the engine bay. Hope this helps
When you rotate the steering wheel, your wheels rotate which means so does your suspension, while the remainder of the car stays straight. In the upper strut mount, the bearing is there to allow for the movement of the wheel, such as turning the wheel, or flexing (eg,driveways). The stiffer it is the more your handling is affected. Seizing is much worse than flimsy. Being able to move it easy might just be due to the quality of the bearing. My coilovers were cheap so the bearing might not be the best. As long as it is consistent all round you should be fine. Just keep in mind, the softer the bushing/bearing un the upper strut mount, the more that will be affected in the performance and comfort. As long as there is no seizing or inconsistent movement you should be fine. Cant get perfection out of used, thats why theyre cheaper.

How lose is to lose? Because I just got some tein coils and they don't require that much force to move but they move easier than that
Wish I saw this vid sooner,just got ripped off and now idk what to do
what did you end up buying?
@@ramonleyva1474 blown greddy coil overs🫡
Sell em to another person 🤣
Would rust/corrosion be okay?

I have teins master control flex and it’s quite easy to move the top part of the coilover it’s not hard to move like yours?

I also got some tein flex z coils and the top part is quite easy to move as well. Maybe it's just tein coils?
@its_tosh1 It's suppose to work that way with a camber style upper mount that has a pillow ball bearing.
