Now that My front bc coilovers are out of warranty they are making the infamous clunking noise, gonna try doing what u did in the video to them to see if it goes away, thanks
Clunking could possibly be loose hardware. The nut at the top of the shock body can come loose and you get vertical motion on the whole coilover. Start there!
@@behradsays oh believe me I tried everything lol. I made sure all the bolts are nice and tightened, I even used white lithium grease on the coilovers, I saw a RUclips video someone said it fixed it, which it helped for a couple weeks then it slowly the noise came back it drove me crazy to the point I took them off and now I have lowering springs lol
I would say if they’re super old and one blew out just from wear and tear overtime, then best to replace both. But if one blew out due to an accident or incident, just replace the one
It depends on the application. The struts are different lengths for different cars. You should call BC sales support and they can make sure you order the right one!
A whole new corner would cost probably around 250-300, and just replacing the shock body, bump stop and boot, it was about 130 bucks. The bottom strut mount and the top camber plate are big expenses, so if those were damaged, I might’ve been better off with a whole new corner.
I heavily disagree with his assembly process. Start with the bumpstop, shaft cover, then top mount w/ spring seat and nut. That way, you can still grip on the shaft with a rubber plier or something. If you did it his way, you'll risk marring the inside of the cartridge as the shaft and valve are free spinning. Then work from the bottom: Main spring, lower spring platform w/ spring seat, locking collar, lower mount locking collar, finally lower mount. < Damaged irreplaceable Limited run 5000$+ suspension.
This ain’t a rebuild. It’s a reassemble. Rebuilding is meant for the shock absorber
I fixed it for you 😘
Needed this 😁 sis was gonna give her coil overs to the shop but i told her to pass ‘em my way might as well!
You can do this. Thank you man that’s all I needed
Man those b-roll shots are impressive
What about that upper mount
I never see them selling replacements for those
Mine won’t tighten
hell yes. I want some BCsfor my S12.
That would be dope! Do they make them already?
@@behradsays yea, basically just 240sx coils with the rears split shock from spring.

Bro, how do you get the top mount off the end of the piston? Do you use an Allen to stop it rotating when you loosen the top nut? Mine is stuck AF
If you you have one blown shock, say on the rear, should you replace both rear shocks?

Nice video! Quick and informative 😎
Price difference on rebuilding a coil over vrs buying a new one?
You can buy your car's suspension cartridges for 95$ each. No need to rebuild (Usually 225$/corner).
Pretty sick that BC sells the individual parts!
Yeah dude, one of my favorite things about BC coils!
can the rear also be repaired ?. 2016 Genesis coupe bcs br coilovers
Yeah any corner can be rebuilt! Just need the right parts
What size damper was it for the br series? Mine recently blew

My Br series for gti 13 just blew, but i can do this too or no for my br series?
You can do it dude! Call BC or search the site for the parts and it should be easy.
Just curious, whats the cost savings of everything you bought vs buying a whole new one?

@@behradsays thanks again Any direction on where I can order just one new corner for my bug eye?
I would call BC directly or order right from their website!
Damn i should call them n build my shock body too cause shit is all dead
Yeah dooo it man!

Should have replaced the pillow ball bearing also
You explained nothing.
