Left-Hand Thread Warning (AGAIN)

Posted on by

Although we rarely apply left-hand threading (reverse thread) to our coilovers, we’ve taken extra measures to make sure customers that purchase these kits are aware that their front left coilover uses left-hand/reverse threading, such as marking the top of the box with warning labels (which block the box staples, meaning when the customer cuts open their coilover box, they will see the labels), marking the front left damper with a caution sticker (specifically on the spring seats and seat locks), and also noting this in the included manual.

Yet, we still run into this issue and customers have called us stating that their front-left coilover seat locks are seized.

So, instead of having to remind you which kits have left-hand threading, and how we mark the boxes, components, and manuals, please just know that if it’s requiring you too much force to try and break loose the front left coilover’s seat locks, please look and the threaded body and pay attention to which direction the threads are going

Here is something we sent back to a Honda specialist shop after he sent us a picture of his customer’s “defective TEIN coilover”:

Stimulus Money Well Spent.

Look, I can’t tell you how to spend your recently received Stimulus money. But, from the looks of it, a lot of you have spent it on TEIN coilovers and ENDURAPRO shock absorbers. At least that’s how I see it.

During the stay at home orders a majority of Americans are under, we’ve all at least had the ability to do a lot of our shopping online, and on that front, we know a lot of our authorized dealers saw a flood of orders come in last week. Now, I’m not confidently assuming this, but this does coincide with the Stimulus money people started to receive by direct deposit. Sooo…………

We definitely appreciate seeing these orders. Quite honestly, and just in general, we haven’t really seen a slow down on our side of the business. One of the reasons we’ve decided to stay operational is the fact that there are plenty of customers needing replacement or repair parts for their TEIN coilovers, damper rebuilds, and such. We wanted to make sure that, especially for those of you who are essential workers, don’t have to worry about vehicle downtime if your TEIN-equipped car is your only means of transportation. So, at any rate, we appreciate your support!

Really, we’re hoping things return to normal for all of us Americans. It’s a great feeling, and a rewarding one, for us to be able to stay open and assist customers with their suspension needs.

BUT, we hope all of you have all the necessities to stay home to help halt the spread of COVID-19. And for those of you without work right now, we hope all of this is just a short step back.
