Results:$500 AUD, for wheel alignment, wind up the coil overs, driver and passenger boots. solution, move car from their workshop to street, wind up coil overs, anyone got tips on how to get these just right or a nice height to have (30-75mm)? install both boots, drive back into workshop and get wheel alignment, $100. i'm thinking to just fully wind them to the top to keep things simple, but i dont like how the top spring almost fully compresses. |

Yea from what i've looked up cable ties are the usual go to fix, and even come with some boot kits, but wear out, so why not just get stainless steel cable ties.Very nice, they look nothing like what i took off. |

I stand corrected the passenger side boot has those clips on it, which is actually in near perfect condition for 15 years!!! ( i will do this when i start on the rear end and get some new tires / rims)I put a new drivers side boot on, easiest job i have ever done!!! bit of grease and it slipped straight on. my metal cable ties were only good for the larger diameter of the steering rack, it did work around the inner tie rod but not as well as i would have liked. Currently in for a wheel alignment and a double check of the coil overs height!!!!! i should be clear to go for a cruise all week end, and to take it for a lap around Mount Panorama!!! |

Back to the drawing board and as the heading of this thread states, wheel alignment is amazing now, and the local boys even did it for free...... purely because the coil overs "dropped a thread" the guys did what they could for me, for free i might add. but the end advice is don't drive it until the thread can be fixed or contact the distributor. this is more than likely my own fault for winding them up too far.  |

Holy horse crap bat cheese not sure it should be doing that can you get it back on the thread youll need to compress that coil doesnt look impossible to fix did you scar the thread or is it simply the tention nut has give up if the shocks ok then its not massively drastic ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

And yes looks simply like you wound it off the top may just wind back on if you can release the tension and realign it !thought! If you wind up the lock nut can you push it back up or is there to much force ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

hmmmmm thats some good thinking, could i damage it more by doing this, some steel / alloy thread was poking up before it was aligned, so i think it might actually be de threaded. |

Yep think you may have lost the thread on the load ring you will only damage it more if you wind the lock nut up to far or if the thread is already damaged Have you got a large washer you can use to space the gap between rings to avoid winding the load ring off the top Cut washer in half greese in insert in the space then wind up etc ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

Best practice to oil these 3in 1 or something keep the crap out grit will damage threads when adjusting always then clean down after with some wd40 oil dispersing greese nothing harsh Wd40 cleans lubricated for a short while then its low viscosity wont allow for high build up crap to remain leaving areas grease free depending on how much used best to wipe down with a paper towell to remove additional residue In my experience wd40 used in garages has a thicker viscule content due to not having to be mixed with volatile hydrocarbons for areasol function may need two paper towels Essentially better than leaving lubricating oils of a thicker nature on Edited to please all fluid based materials evaporate in time some quicker than others usually depending on viscosity TIP!! ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

WD40 attracts dirt if left on and you will end up with more crap in the threads than you started with, and it certainly doesn't evaporate. ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

Quite correct but not more than you would collect anyway and certainly less than leaving thicker oil on most oil will dilute and disperse greese ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |
