Default Fixed my tein rattle

finally took a look at my tein super streets , they were making a rattling noise on uneven surfaces which was super annoying without the radio on .anyways i know some people had issues wwith the front, but mine was rattleing in the back .

So i took apart my trunk and removed the the main nut on the shock as this is the only place i could think of that could be making this noise.(the nut that goes in the middle on the main shaft of the shock )there is a large washer that fits over a rubber donut o-ring thingy which then fits over a a sleeve so it looked like the rubber donut was too thin and when fully tightened there was slight play between the sleeve and the washer.

so i cut up the stock oem upper rubber donut thing which has the sleeve built in so that it was about a 1/4 inch taller than the tein rubber donut.

Now the washer and sleeve never meet when fully tightened and no more rattle.
