Default So I'm packing up my busted KW v.1 coilovers and noticed a funny rattle

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/23258/strut.jpg"></center><p>sound that it made when it was on the car. I figured that it was the busted shock. Turns out that the top strut cap to hold the strut shock insert in was totally loose! my shock wasn't broken at all.

called KW and they are looking into it. just for those that have KW v.1 or v.2s, if you get any type of rattle in the shocks or struts, check the caps on the inserts...they are of the screw down variety.

KW says this should never happen....well, it did.
