Need help with B14 tein coilovers
Hey guys,
I have Tein 22-way adjustable coilovers on my '97 SE-R. The dampening is adjusted by turning the top with an allen wrench. Lately, the front passenger side had becoming more and more difficult to adjust, it just seemed stuck. It started to strip my allen wrench so I took a wratchet w/ 8mm socket to try to get it to move. It did, but then it kinda just came off and won't go back on.
First, this is the top on the front driver's side, (the side without the problem) - it turns easily with an allen wrench:
Here is the front passenger side, once it "broke" off or whatever happened. I can't tell if it snapped off or just came out.
Here are the two pieces that are currently removed and don't seem to want to go back on:
So what do I do? If there's another way to adjust the dampening on the front passenger strut, that's fine with me, I'd imagine there has to be because turning a little allen wrench can't be all it is.
Do I need a new top mount piece? I hardy turned the thing with my ratchet and it just came out.
