I just did some comparison by looking at other similar kits for AWD. They look the same as mine…yours look different for some reason (different camber plates?). They have the horseshoe looking piece at the top of the strut similar to the Bilstein posted before. This is to correct the angle of the strut.

I hope you figure out what’s different..
so today I marked my setting on the coilover and decided to give it a good inch of preload just to see if the play would not knock.. yup! still knocks, gotta be the bearing… I set it back where it was and will wait for the new parts. It doesn’t knock all that bad so I can still drive it

direct from BC under warranty, they just asked what need so I told them all of it. Ended up checking out the feal suspension sealed bearings. I’m certainly not putting in that stock garbage. I’ll probably go that direction
my problem is just bearings… I’m certain..
** question, have any of you BC’ers changed out to a sealed bearing not available from BC???

Curious, what people are doing for front end links?
I bought adjustable rear end links. The coilovers already came with longer front links. Do we need to get adjustables?

After comparing my new coilovers with the old ones and this picture, I’m definitely rocking 2WD coilovers. 2WD coilovers are also shorter. This would explain why they are softer and I’m almost at max with the height adjustment (highest).

interesting. This is awd btw. I’m surprised they would even fit
