Hey people,

Bought new Monroes and they don't come with the ABS bracket.
This a problem? Just let it hang? Do the Tokikos/KYB/other come with this bracket?

Thanks again,
Rungi

 

I just put new KYB's on today and they had all the same clips and screw holes as my stock struts. Dont know about the Monroes?!?!?!

 

Do NOT let them hang, they'll rub into the CV axle and either rip the boot or tear into the wire. Don't ask how I know!

 

At minimum, get some large zip ties and strap it to the strut housing. do NOT leave is hanging- as you can learn from Ken's mistakes there.

 

Well what happened is when I took my Tokico struts out to put my Eibachs in, BOTH little screws that hold the ABS wire snapped off. I didn't have my drill and tap kit with me so I strapped it on the strut with some duct tape. After a week, it fell off and sliced my CV boot open. I then replaced the boot and drilled out one nut (the other is hopeless), but didn't have any zip ties, so I drove the couple miles to my apartment (from my friend's house) but as soon as I got on my street, my ABS light came on. Doh!!

 

DOH! that sucks..

btw, Ken.. you should be getting a box sometime soon.

 

I already got it. BTW, you are the most insane box packer I know. Nice job using those AOL 1000hr for free CD's as cushioning! I swapped in the CD player section but I am getting an error reading. IT seems like the motor doesn't want to start up. Maybe I can switch the motor of my CD unit into your unit, which hopefully will play from both channels. Since they're both broken, I see no reason to try, and if it doesn't work, looks like I'll get aftermarket.

 

Yea, I'm sending them back and getting Tokicos!!
