Default BC Coilovers

Does anyone have an exploded view of a bc coilover?
I've searched the internet but can't seem to find one as I need to identify what part I need as my O/S/F shock is knocking and I can see that the top spring mount has corroded through and the spring is not secure.
Cheers,
James

Cheers banny, difficult to tell without taking it off the car but it maybe the red part on the picture.
Edited as the 2nd picture hadn't loaded, looks like the gold bearing/mount next to the black spring support.
Thanks again Banny

I had a front knocking some time ago, solution then was tighten up the nut under the firmness adjuster.
Mine had worked lose a fraction coarsening a slight knocking noise over bumps.....tightened, now sorted.

Hi James

You are on the BC now,if yes I would suggest speak to Bren@Apex about the upgrading yours existing top mounts to later rubber top mounts,second bit I would check if yours locking collar is tightened(sometimes when locking collar is not tightened can cause knocking noise)

Thanks for the replies. I have seen that the mount/bearing above the spring has corroded through and it is not supporting the spring so there is no preload anymore, the camber plate is ok.
I just want to make sure im picking the right part.

I forgot about Bren, cheers Jura!
