Hey CL Members i was wondering if anyone would have a spare top mount for their coil over that they are not using and would want to sell it to me because this is the situation i am in right now.

 

First off, what did you do? Secondly, did you email BCR yet? I have a local dealer and if you'd like, PM me your # and i'll see if I can help you out on parts.

 

were they modified at all or did the shaft really rub through the side of the mount like that?

 

Isn't there a big washer and a stop on the bottom side of the top mount to prevent something like this?

 

I actually contacted a BC racing dealer in FL and they have me waiting for 2 to 3 weeks for the part to come in… and for sure ill PM you my number thanks in advance.

na they weren’t moded at all just had bags put on the strut thats about it nothing else was done.

yeah idk I seem to be missing that washer.

 

can you take a picture of what it looks like under the rubber bushing? How long have you driven on it since the bags were install on it? Whomever installed the bags probably dun goofed. Maybe someone that went UAS and bought the billet uppers can help you out or hell maybe buy the billet uppers yourself from UAS and replace the bc units. Will probably get them faster.


you can kinda see the washer under another bushing in the picture below on the bottom of the top hat.

 

Thanks for the help man ill take pictures of it closely and post it on here and ill give the Billet uppers a try.

 

You're on bags, so that explains a lot....

If you're in a pinch I can ship you MINE's are on your dime, and you can have BC send me the top hat as a replacement for sending you mine's.

I just took it out earlier yesterday and and it's sitting on my bench. It hasn't been used (literally 0 miles of usage). Brand new.

FWIW, I see why it happened. you're bagged and you haven't got the PROPER top hat to hold the piston in place, you're really lucky that's all that broke.... I would contact UAS ASAP for both the fronts and the rears.

GL!

 

your missing a part bro. I may not know bc but I know coilovers. theres a piece or washer if you may say that holds that together with the top mount. check in your trunk area under your trunk lining... might've fell through.

or another piece on the strut portion itself that broke. it sandwhiches the bushing. hard to explain but its like in this orderd.... strut, washer/bushing, top mount, washer/bushing(the one you see in your pic), then nut. check on the whole strut may have fallen to the bottom.

 

Not just that EJ, his bags weren't secured to anything, so it had nothing but play inbetween. Which is what happened.

I'm sure by now he's contacted UAS for the brackets for the bags.

 

Thank you bro for the help i contacted UAS and got me a new top hat with all the parts needed so i hope it sits securely and doesn’t happen again.

Thanks a lot Norman!!!!! Your help was much appreciated and I’m getting the new Top on monday from UAS as you had suggested so now i hope that solves the issue.

 

it should lol, next is air management

 

ah I see sorry I just reread the post. them vibrations and spacing would definitely cause a problem

 

Nah, it's nothing, it wasn't posted in the first post he was on air LOL

 

lol yeah saw that. but seems like he is on the right path to get it fixed
