I'm replacing my 84 GSL-SE front shocks with Tokico Illuminas/Racing Beat springs. It seems like the Tokicos don't use the oil o ring that the original shocks used (no reference in the Tokico instructions) and also have 2 large brass rings (about the size and shape of the old oil o ring) that are not referred to in the instructions supplied with the shocks. Any clues anyone?

 

Dunno, but glad you asked.. IM doing my fronts tommorow. Did the rears today.... But I actually had the same question...

 

Those washers you have are spacers if I remember right. I think I used one of the two that they gave me to allow the retainer nut to thread down the right amount.

 

You need the spacer, or it will make noise.

 

Works for me. Setzep, Directfreak, thanks for the timely input!! Maybe it'll get back on the road this week.
