So i have a 2008 MCS and lowered it. Well now at 100k it needs struts. Well when i lowered it i thought i replaced the caps on the top mounts that cover the bearings and the washers but they are not there.......

So now i need to find these washers and am having no luck. Does anyone know what i am talking about? they cover the bearing and i dont know if it is just the bearing grease cover or if it has a spacer/washer as well.

BTW i am not talking about the little black cap that covers the hole the nut is in.

 

Part of the strut mount : No washer on the top and just the double washer at the bottom.

So i put part 5 and 6 on the shaft run the strut threw the top mount put the dust cover then the nut correct?

 

Yea, diagram is linked. Nut then dust cover.

 

Just have to say i have been involved with a good number of auto forums over the years.
ECS Tuning have to be the most helpful to the online community.

 

Thanks
