Hey all,

I recently had to have my front springs replaced (one was broken), and when I received the car from the shop I noticed a clicking noise from my left tire when I went over small bumps. I looked around and found that my front left damper was loose, so much so that I could wiggle it with my fingers after applying a small amount of force. I hesitate to bring it back to their shop because it is about 15 miles out of the city and I don't want to drive on the highway.

My hope is that I can get in there and tighten the bolts around the lower spring seat. Do you think this will fix the problem? I attached a picture from the rave manual highlighting where the sound and movement is located.

Thanks.

 

Nevermind... I found the issue I think. They forgot to tighten the top through-bolt attaching the damper to the frame! .......

 

Good catch!

 

Piece o' cake

 

Someday I'd like to meet a mechanic that can remove 5 screws and not put back 4. I constantly find things like that.
Just yesterday I clipped 2 lines that had been pulled off and not clipped back on.
