Topmount Question

[brownyboy]

Can a top mount on an EP82 only be fitted one way?

Basically I took my suspension off, gone to refit and it now handles all funny. I have either put the shocks on the wrong sides or I have moved the topmounts round somehow in transit.

Cheers

yeah, if you put the topmounts the wrong way then it will handle really strangely.

do you have a pic so we can see which way round they are fitted?

fixed it!!

When you put 2 bottom bolts in shock there is a bit of play and obviously i tightened up bolts when the disc was looking a bit pissed and didnt think off it at the time. Loosened up pushed the caliper inwards untill it didnt move any further and then tightened and now it hadles like its on rails

well chuffed

MAte, the top mounts are the wrony way round...... Unless you want massive positive camber...

Dunno but theres a receipt for £180 setting them up so i'm hoping there set up right and the people that fitted at the time knew what they were doing! Cant fault the way it handles at the mo
