bilstein front shock ?

[mocrazy]

Hey gentlemen. Can the top shock absorber nut on bilstein 5100 front be accessed without removing strut. Not sure if I tightened mine down enough. Thanks.

I believe so but you can't fit an offset wrench in there anymore because of the shock tower. You'd need a deepwell socket which will cause problems since then you can't get the allen in there to hold the piston in place.

There is a socket that will fit in a ratchet wrench and then you'll be able to use an allen head, might have to track one down.

What makes you think you didn't tighten it down enough?
