Here be the squeak. My rear drivers side TEIN is ****ed. I bought and installed these in Jan. Man I am pissed they are alrady f'd up.

Check it.



Here the best pick I could find of the dust cover in it's proper place, the arow shows where it went.



There is supposed to be a dust cover that goes at the bottom of the shock (bottom red arrow). Well it got pulled all the way to the top and sucked up under the white rubber bushing (top red arrow). I cannot get it out, it squeaks no end. Even after using grease. Also do to the dust cover being removed from it rightful location dirt and small rocks have gotten into the seal and that is awesome fro the strut.....

These have less than 20k on them and I got them installed new in Jan. And this was to get rid of my strut clunk from the stockers. I keep spending money on "upgrades that fail or don't fit". I am pissed.

What do I do, contact TEIN? Will they even care? They were installed by a TEIN autorized dealer so it was done right.

 

In other news I did finally blow out coolant again on the GST Mustang. Could have been one last bubble beauseI burped it after and no leaks so far. I did this little temp mod to measure what is being pushed out after Mike posed the qestion "I wonder how much you are losing". We were thinking slightly lifted HG do to the crappy head studs.

So far no more coolant, check my setup (warning ghetto mod for testing/diag only)







It goes from my Perrin Overflow res to this custom water bottle. The hose goes to the bottom of the water bottle. I made the hole perfect so there is a seal. I also drilled to carb holes so pressure doesn't build up and go boom. This way I can monitor how much is coming out if any.
