nipping up the strut cup

[s2driveruk]

am concerned that my bilsteins are banging about a bit in the struts, is there a way (and a tool!?!?) to check and remove any play? Also is it possible to do this while on the car?

I have to get rid of the knocking as its going to do my head in and is playing with confidence to drive the car hard which is not good with a Ring trip looming

A slim set of stilsons that will fit between the spring coils will let you tighten the caps whilst on the car. BTDT.

cheers Andy...are we talking stupid amounts of torque to lock them down do you know?

Factory figure is 180Nm, I don't have the tool to fit my torque wrench so I just give them a good tweek. Never had one come loose.
