rear strut questions
i just installed new agx with new springs in the rear of my 96
i dont fuly understand how the strut goes together into the new strut mount on the top
on the strut it has that little nipple that is supposed to fit inside and tight against the the mount...
but when u do that the threads arent long enough to make it tight
and now its clunking everytime i go over a bump??
help please
i had the same problem when i installed my tokicos

When I installed tokico blues a year ago I had the same clunking noise due to that center nut being loose. Jump in the trunk and tighten that nut.

The nub on the shock sits on the large gold colored disk/washer. It should be put on the shock right after the bump stop/dust boot. Then the large rubber grommet, mount, small grommet on top of the mount, then a washer and the nut. Make sure the nubs on both grommets meet each other within the mounts hole so it isolates the shock from the edges of the mount.

Dude its me, theres definitly only three peices needed...these are the last 2 to be mounted, when I talked to you, sounded like you already had the peice for the very bottom, well this is what you need for the top end, its just a "rear strut mount" i guess...

It also just hit me, that gold washer, may have been lost when you took out the shock. I still don't recall mine being there either though and I don't have any issues, unless it is there and is stuck inside it where it couldn't fall out.

I've installed a LOT of suspensions, and have only found a need to replace one rear strut mount. Sure the rubber gets a little soft, but it has no negative effect on the suspension.
A replacement strut mount comes with all the necessary replacement rubber.
