Hello all,
I have an 86 RX7 GTU, ITS prep. Suspension was stock and just received the IT suspension upgrade kit from MazdaMotorsports.
All is good except I have a question about a part included with the upper rear spring perch / shock mount kit. I could wait and call MM on Monday but I want to finish it tomorrow so here goes. There were no instructions included.
The kit includes a cad-plated washer/spacer, appx 1.5" OD on one end, then tapered or spherical to an appx 1/2" OD on the other end, total thickness appx. 1/4". I can't find a use for it, is it for mounting a boot?
Current order of assembly from top: nylock nut, spacer, perch bearing, spacer, onto shock shaft shoulder.
I also did not use the T-shaped spacer nuts that came with the Koni shocks, figured they weren't needed, but the aforementioned spacer came from the perch/shock mount kit so it "seems" necessary. I hate having parts left over, gives a sick feeling in my stomach .
Any help appreciated, thanks.
Mike
