Hi guys, Sorry to bring up such an old thread. I've just ordered two new rear shocks from Renault. I've got them both out the box to check resistance, now when I compress neither of them return to the starting position??? Every rear set I've done before on different cars return on their own...

As stated by a few helpful others, this is very likely the psu (power supply unit). Had similar symptons myself, though when i did turn it off (after about a year) it wouldn't power up, so i kept trying until a massive spark flew out of the PSU ;o) Shocking after a year, but if you've had on a...

Guys, sorry to thread jack. As asked above, do the renault discs with bearings abs have these spacers? I've managed to get bearing off, we can't see anything that resemebles one of these spacers? I've a 172 cup, heard horror stories of not putting these in. Please help, picture of said...
