I just bought some used JIC magic coilovers off of this forum. Installed them myself and everything went great until I drove it. I noticed that every time I hit something in the road the front left coilover bottomed out. I took it to the mazda dealer to see if anything just wasn't tightened correctly and they checked it and said it looked great. He recommended I send them back to get looked at as it may be a problem. He also said that I needed to loosen my A arms. He said that my A arms are torqued to the stock ride height and need to be loosened at the height the car is at now so they don't mess up. I have NEVER heard this before, and was very confused because I thought the A arms moved freely. So that is my first question, the A arms. Secondly, I called the JIC Magic tech support and he said it may be a bad bearing on the top of the coilover but if it's not I need to ship them back in. How do I check to see if the bearing is bad?
ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED!
Thanks guys,
