Does anyone else have wrench flats on their dampers on their S-Type? I have an 05' Non-Sport and I have them, which to me says adjustable. Am I just crazy? Only ever had flats on adjustable dampers.

I don't have a picture but I can get some later.

p.s. I'm talking about in the engine bay where they bolt to the body.

 

I am at a loss here.

Please explain "wrench flats loss on dampers"

?????????

 

are wrench flats the flat sides of the nuts that the spanner/wrench sits on to turn it ?

 

A flat surface beneath the fastener head that facilitates tightening with a wrench? I am a bit confused...

 

i don't get it

 

Many dampers / struts have slots and a hex shape just in case the shaft spins while taking off the lock nut. I assume that is what you are talking about...

 

Jeff you know what happens when you "assume"!

 

What!

 

It snowed last night but I'm gonna snap a shot before I leave for work. Pics soon!

 

There are flats for a wrench, the way I'd see in an adjustable damper to adjust the softness or hardness of the rebound.

 

I think Jeff assumed correctly and is due a coconut.

 

Nope, those are usually to hold the shaft of the shock in place while you tighten the nut that holds the spring top on.

 

Yea... What I said...... LOL
