I hope the threads at the bottom of the insert are much more sturdy than what we had in the DMS. Using an impact for the bottom nut was a big no no on the DMS (for thightening) as it would stretch the threads on the insert very quickly and they'd eventually break off. The Samsonas has the advantage of having a backing nut to sandwich the bottom mount between the 2 nuts. I'd be interested in your feedback on the wear you notice on the threads of the insert after a few services.
There's a hard lip on the shaft that I find to be initially better than dealing with the jam nut on the samsonas and the problems of timing it and getting it properly into the pocket groove on the bottom of the housing without accidentally loosening it. The shaft is hardened and I don't have any immediate concerns about elongation, but will keep an eye on the threads!
Thanks for this video, I was having trouble installing a pair of Intrax coilovers with ARC (not on a Subaru) and they stopped responding to my inquiries. This video helped me complete the install. Do you know what that torque spec is on the lower nut is?
There is no provided torque spec from them- this for me is a "feel" thing right now, which I am comfortable with but obviously can't communicate very well. If they do provide me with a number, I'll update the description!
On my rally Flatout suspension GR40-PRO after 1000km the top connection to the reservoir leaked, like on your coilovers, I can’t find what can be repaired there, because all coilovers are not like that without an end connection.
Does Flatout offer parts or service and recharge procedures? I hate to say it, but everyone I've ever seen with Flatout suspension has had discharge issues or component failure almost immediately. I hope their service and product has improved
