Hi all,
i am after some advice/information on how the pillow ball top mounts are supposed to be assembled with the washers, spacer, collars top bearing insert.
per top mount i have a normal big disk washer, a normal collar5mm high , a 15m high barrel spacer, a top bearing insert.
now i know the bearing insert goes into the top of the spherical bearing in the top mount, but i dont know what orientation the other bits go in, or even if i have the correct parts to properly attach the pillow ball top mounts to the shock.
The collar is the standard one that fit normal shocks, it fits on the step in the shock piston below the big disk washer . the rubber bushing normally sits on top of this but i have the metal spacer however the spacer is wider than the inside diameter of the spherical bearing in the top mount, so it does not look like it should fit this way.
the spacer will fit directly onto the shock piston and sit in place nicely then the smaller diameter collar can fit on top of the spacer and it will fit inside the spherical bearing and mate to the bottom of the top bearing insert, but there is no place for the big disk waser to go. seames fine but when the top mount goes on the threaded part of the shock piston stops before the top of the top shouck mount. so even if the nut was done up as tight as it can go the top mount would rattle about.
maybe i just need to make some bigger spacers to fit the space i have to fill.
i can post pictures up up of the spacers and other parts if you think it will help.
any ideas guys.
