Hi all.
First post, been reading for long time.
Today I fitted new top mounts from SKF and TA technix coilovers (EVOGWFI03) on my Seicento 1.1 MPI from 2005.
I noticed that the top mount doesn't spin freely like it does on my original strut.
Also once fitted you can hear a ping ping sound when turning the wheels. Probably caused by torsion on the springs..
Strangely the plate of the TA-set fits in nicely in the top mount but it sinks in perfectly with the outer ring, not touching the bearing making it useless..
I tried making a drawing of it, see the attachment!
Is this a design fault (cause of cheapo-set) or do I miss a part, like a spacer thingy?
Thanks in advance!
