Well spend day changing dampers pinch bots Were solid so worked around them as ran out f gas for me torch, swapped bump stops and fitted new top mounts and anti roll links as they were goosed also fitted eibach springs, and Sachs shocks. Now tight and handles well for sure and really pleased with it but not sure about the little washer that goes onto damper shaft, as Oem were different to Sachs , anyways coud someone post a piccy or exploded diagram of how it's supposed to go? Bit gutted really as it was alot of wk, thanks folks just going to get tidied up, after god days spannering. Cheers fula.
