General Suspension problem!

[gex18]

I had FK coilovers fitted about 3 weeks ago, but i noticed to day one of the suspension discs is sitting higher than the other, it was the same case when the original dampers and pi springs were on, what do yoou think, is it a problem (pics below);

Passenger side (sitting correctly);

Drivers side (sitting incorrectly);

Cheers

i would say your top mounts fooked.you spent coilover money and didnt change to topmounts at the same time???
really should have as it all goes towards your suspension performance

I did buy some but they were incorrect according to the mechanic (even though the supplier said there is only one type for HGT), it comprised metal plate with rubber mount in centre. Are these correct?

sounds right as there failry generic in design just changes slightly as per application.
got pics off them?punto guys may know by sight

No mate, i sent them back, The mechanic said the mounts on the car (the metal parts) were fixed to the car, and only the rubber sections (with bearing inside) were replaced?

Will get some from FIAT, might get them to fit them, lol!

Is this the part that needs to be replaced;

or is it a metal plate / with this in the centre?

I will order then from fiat i think and get them to replace them. I only need to replace the drivers side one i beleive?!

i would assumer this part

though punto guys will confirm for sure.
as for 1 or 2 its up to you as your paying labour.i woul be doing them myself and would have fitted both sides

looks like they been fitted without the bearing in the rubber bit

 

[gex18]

Think i need a new mount then? Is it safe to drive on?

 

[gex18]

Does this look like a serious / expensive problem then?
