Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

        If the rubber is torn, the bushing is bad.
        If your shocks are original, then it's more likely that you have a blown shock than a damaged mount/bushing... but either is possible.
        Really, all you need to do is look at it. If looking at it while installed doesn't tell you anything, take it apart and look at it.

          Youre gonna have to pull the strut and diagnose it. If you pull off the top hat and chunks of rubber fall out, well there ya go. If the strut goes down super easy or just never comes back up then bingo. Just gotta pull it. Shouldnt take more then 20mins.

            Just be sure to use a spring compressor for safety... disassembling a shock/spring assembly is very dangerous without one. That top nut can be like a bullet, and you're going to be looking right at it as you remove it!

              Also sounds like its possible that the nut isn't tightened all the way down on top of the strut hat. I've seen that nut back off a bit before on a friends civic. That'll cause the strut to rise up like that also. But...the bushing is also probably shot.

                If I understand this post correctly, the strut mount is shot. The strut should not, as far as I know, move two inches (finger widths) [U]through[U] the top hat into the engine compartment. I could be wrong but would trust Deev as he has his facts straight on hondas
