Rittmeister Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I have ordered new Spec B tophats to replace the originals on my Rev A Bilsteins. I'm chasing a clunk (see here). I have a lot of suspension experience but I've never taken apart a setup with inverted struts, which I'm told these Bilsteins are. Is there any difference from the regular procedure? I.e. compress the spring, undo the top nut, pull everything apart? I don't want to damage the damper itself by doing something wrong. Searched, but did not find an answer. Thanks!

08SpecB_DE Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Nothing is different. I just changed mine last weekend. I had a clunk shortly after I bought my car, turns out the nut on the strut was just loose. Have you tried tightening them down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rittmeister Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Yeah, early on. They're tight. I've changed most of the front end lol, the tophats are about all that's left. Thanks for the tip, I'm glad the job is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
