Replace the upper pillow nut on the FLEX A??
 

Hello, a question for those who have the EDFC motor kit on the flex A.

In order to assembly the motors TEIN dictates to puchase and assemble on the strut the EDFC STRUT KIT, EDK06-K4474.
Basically they are 2 brackets mounted below the camber plate.

In order to remove the camber plate you have to disassemble the upper top lock nut PMP03-91022-F in the diagram of the shok absorber, put the brakets below that and then re assembly.

1 - The EDFC motor kit install manual does not say anything (re-use the nut or use a new one)
2 - The Tein flex A manual says that it has to be replaced upon re assembly.

Is this nut re usable or not??
if it is NOT, then why the hell TEIN does not send 2 new nuts together with the brackets kit for the EDFC motors, since you have to disassembly the camber plate in order to install them?? it would be obvious that I also need a new pair of pillow nuts, if YOU dictate that I have to change them....
:mad0260:

Especially since they charge 19 $ / piece , so 40 more dollars for a thing that they should have sent you in the first place...

For those of you that have assembled the brackets strut kit for the EDFC motors, do you have re-used the top pillow nut?

thank you

Just put a dab of blue lock tite, reuse the nut, torque to 1.5 zips

It is reusable.

thanks to both ;)
