Err, that little knob is part of a shaft that runs all the way down the inside of the damper - if it's 'come loose' then it's broken...________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I snapped the top off my KW damper and found out it goes all the way through the body, to the valve at the bottom of the strut. Rebuild time! ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

The knob in question threads off when u twist it.It was tack welded before but I filed it down too stop it from denting the underside ov my bonnet I've only just got the same shocker back from gaz It was leaking oil from the top. The shockers have probably only covered 200 miles from new Starting too think these gaz shocks are w## k |
