Tein CS reminder.
Guys it happen again, not long ago my rear left tein cs suspenion fall out of place. I am talking about the bolt that goes around the the damper switch. Anyways last sunday my front passenger side did it too, so all i had to do was screw the bolts back on easy fix it was. So from my experience so far, all i need to do is retorque all the suspenion bolts about every 5 to 4 months depending how often i drive her. Hope this will help so this does not happen to my CL boys. One last thing, if it does happen to anyone that has the CS it's going to sound like a loud clunking sound when you are even goin over very small pumps so don't be to shocked, just stop the car, and retighten the bolt.

There should be some torque specs in the manual. I am wondering if this is a common problem. I havent had this happen to me yet and I have had my Teins on for 2 years

torque is like 20 lbs. I've tightened mine a little once already. the trick is to use one wrench to hold the shaft in place and another to tighten nut. you can't use a torque wrench on it. I did use the torque wrench on the strut mount bolts and some of them turned a little too.
