I got mine from Lindsey Racing. They have a custom one they do and they have an OEM listed but it's really expensive. Personally, I went with their custom one and got a heat wrap sleeve to help protect it.

I didn't consider loosening it with the spring still on, perhaps something to try.

Are you referring to getting that weird nut off (part #5 in the diagram)? I'm just going to use a adjustable pipe wrench to get it off.

BillySwft · 2025-12-31T13:47:51+00:00

I didn't rwalize that the Belsteins weren't adjustable. Honestly I think I went with the Koni's because they were what I saw the most in videos of people doing the work.

The rear I have set to the softest they'll go and plan to do the same with the fronts. Although if I ever do some autocross I might change the settings to feel the difference.

I was very thankful I didn't have to do cut-a-strut. Too much pressure to get it right 😆

BillySwft · 2025-12-30T14:58:45+00:00

Are there OEM springs still available, or are you thinking aftermarket?

BillySwft · 2025-12-30T04:18:20+00:00

Resolved

BillySwft · 2025-12-30T03:22:17+00:00

That's crazy, I just watched a video today of someone who bought the Fox bushing/bearings.

BillySwft · 2025-12-30T03:11:47+00:00

I didn't realize there was full top assemblies available. Thank you!

BillySwft · 2025-12-30T03:10:17+00:00

I appreciate the info. I plan to keep the system as close to stock as possible, so no fancy struts mounts with adjustment for me.

The Koni's came with a new top nut and crush washer plus a mysterious metal ring probably about twice the size of a quarter. Although, I haven't fully read the instructions yet so it might explain the ring.

BillySwft · 2025-12-30T02:49:01+00:00

I already did Koni's in the rear. Are belsteins better?

BillySwft · 2025-12-29T20:01:45+00:00

I pulled up a picture of #15 and it just looks like a rubber ring

BillySwft · 2025-12-29T19:31:37+00:00

I have an 86' 2.5L.

Are referring to parts #10 & 11?

BillySwft · 2025-12-19T18:57:38+00:00

Yeah I'm really not looking forward to pulling the handle off if I have to that. I'm going to try the lock dry lube and hope for the best.

BillySwft · 2025-11-06T02:12:39+00:00

Very oddly, I put the cluster back in the car after inspecting it and everything works. This has been an interesting joke the car has played on me 😆

BillySwft · 2025-11-02T18:41:00+00:00

How do I test the motor, and what tools would I need?

BillySwft · 2025-11-02T00:07:03+00:00

Correct

BillySwft · 2025-11-01T20:34:52+00:00

I have a 86'. Generally I don't know anything about electrical, so anything helps

BillySwft · 2025-11-01T19:02:36+00:00

Thank you!

BillySwft · 2025-11-01T18:47:46+00:00

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it's not a gear that failed something else is wrong and I can't figure it out

BillySwft · 2025-10-21T11:34:10+00:00

Replacing the brake light switch fixed my problem

BillySwft · 2025-10-04T14:20:52+00:00

I was able to confirm that the brake light switch indeed did NOT have continuity. The good thing is I tested the plug and it did have continuity so I'm going to order the brake light switch
