Ems Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm fitting yellow Bilsteins to the Manta, how much of the thread should be left above the nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony g Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Normally they have a thicker section that stops the nut turning. Once the nut starts to turn the shock whilst holding the shock just try and get some torque on it from there. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The answer I think you are looking for is you tighten the top nut until the rubber below the big washer sits nicely into the cup on the body filling it but not squashed out between it and the big washer. That would be too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
