GAZ Coilovers Slight Problem
Well finally i bit the bullet and brought some GAZ coilovers..
I started doing the fronts last night... All gone on fine.. BUT and this is quite hard to explain..
I have put the strut tops on and screw the top nut on BUT it doesnt want to tighten up.. All it does is pull the thread through which means that when you push up and down on the car the strut tops knock like hell..
I really need to take a pic to show you what i mean..

Look on the top of the thread there might be an allen key fitting for you to use to hold the strut in place whilst you tighten the nut.
Failing that drop the car down onto its wheels & try tightening the nut again....and failing that use an impact gun to tighten them down.
