Hey guys,

Story is, dropped off my car to get my AC compressor changed over. Drive off big clunk sounds on my passenger front suspension whenever i go over any sort of bump.

Jack up the car, realize 2 bolts are missing from my strut bar that bolt it to the car....

Here are some pics :D

My Good side.

What i think i'm missing.

Any help would be much appreciated!

(Tried adding the pictures to thread but they are way too big and if i re size they become unclear)

Cheers :D

So you're definitely missing a D bush mount bolt, and the other is a mounting bolt for the caster rod mount. The other bolt you have highlighted is actually the bolt through the castor rod.

Head back down where you had the work done, and tell them what's going on; I'm willing to bet they have them on the floor or on the bench.

It's easy to see they were there before, but don't go bezerk; give them an opportunity to sort it first.

It's pretty shoddy really; that's a 2nd year apprentice mistake.

    • That’s a beautiful setup Tao, Have u done any development with the new Turbosmart 40mm electronic straight gate, especially in this G30 configuration?
    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)
