Top hat bearings? HELP ASAP

asdf · 06-16-2009, 03:39 PM

I have Skunk2 coils and I was jacking up the car today and like 6-7 of them fell out, luckily I managed to find them. How do you put the part with all the bearings back to the top hat?? Last thing I need to do so I can drive my car!

take out the suspension, remove the top hat part, then place all the bearings back in and reassemble. Good thing u found all of them, my friend lost like half of them so he had to buy a new top hat lol

your best bet is to buy new top hats and bearings its better that way.
