blown FK Coilovers Silverline X

ontopofm · 08-24-2010, 08:15 PM

After about 10,000 miles, the left front strut is blown. I expect the right is gone also. It wont go up anymore higher than that unless i pull it up. I always have this severe clunks noise and many times I tried to fix the endlinks but it wouldnt go away. Then I isolated the problem by disconnecting the endlinks but still getting noise until I popped out the coilover..
