Maxx Assembly - What Parts Am I Missing? (photos Inside)
All-
I just received my MaXX Struts, now it is time to assemble them! I'm trying to pre-assemble as much as possible so that I can simply swap the struts for mine all in one shot. I'm certain that I am missing some parts, I just don't know what all I am missing! Below is a photo of what I have. It is the MaXX kit, plus as much of the top mount/bearing as TopLine could find for me. (Basically, I have the top rubber mount, a metal cup that pressure-fits into it from the bottom, and the bearing in that cup.) I know for a fact that I am missing at least a few standard washers (mentioned in the TopLine instructions), and I know that I am missing the large square-edged cup that goes on top of the rubber mount (as is seen on the righthand side of this Kerscher strut assembly - thanks to VEEMAN for the photo): I found this other diagram, which has the complete exploded view of the stock strut. However, it doesn't have part numbers or descriptions... so it almost confused me more! Working off of that diagram, I filled in the list as best as I could: 41 - Plastic Cover (not really necessary) 31 - Shock absorber nut (Have it) 29 - Washer (Don't have it) 30 - Upper cup (is this the square edged one? I don't have it...) 42 - ??? 39- Upper mount assembly (have most of it?) 44 - ??? 43 - Rubber edge for the metal mount piece (on my mount in the photo).. or is this part 44 instead? 46 - Strut mount nut (have 'em) 45 - Strut mount washer (have 'em) 40 - ??? 37 - Lower cup that holds the bearing? (I think I have this?) 38 - Upper Spring Perch (Have it) 34A - ??? 35 - Rubber Stop (Replaced with two urethane units from TopLine) 36 - Dust Cover (Don't have it. Do you use one on the MaXX struts?) 1 - Spring (Have it) everything below this is good.... So I am definitely missing parts! Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated! Thanks - David |

From a quick glance, I noticed you don't have the bits that hold the brake line to the strut housing..
And I don't see it but I assume the ring that is hidden by the lower spring perch is there? VR ALex

Oh yeah, I forgot to get those in the photos! :doh:
Yes, TopLine did include the brake-line clamps. I'll try to get a photo of them tomorrow. The snap ring is on the strut housing, and is under the aluminum spring perch. Thanks for the reply! Any thoughts on the upper part? - David |
