Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. I am in the process of changing the top mounts on my V6 and ordered a complete kit from Renault Parts Direct. The kit came with parts for both sides: a new upper spring cup, slim bearing, rubber upper mount and two sorts of strut top nuts that hold the bearing and mount to the strut and prevent the spring coming off and finally two new rubber top cups with captive nuts that mount the strut to the body.
The parts I'm not sure about are the two types of nuts holding the mount to the strut. One is a little nut, same as the part that came off but the other is a large nut with a thread. I assumed this was an updated part and used that but now theres not enough strut coming through the body for the upper/outer mount to thread onto. anyone know what the addition threaded nut is for?
Regards
