you must have stripped it when you fitted the damper ?

Sadly my rear shock bolt keeps coming out on the highway... I am trying to get a warranty replacement from Seikel

sounds like you may have a stripped tread?

are you using the supplied bolt or your oem one

i have lowered about 600 of these vans and i have never had 1 problem with a bottom rear shock bolt undoing.

Thanks for your comments, I've been in touch with manufacturer and a replacement has been dispatched. In the meantime I've cut that threaded nipple off and welded a 7/16 coupler and am using a 7/16 bolt and washers and a poly rubber shifter bushing out of a dodge neon.
I put some loctite on the bolt.
I'll let u know how this holds up.

Nope, it didn't hold up, the neon bushing failed after a few hundred miles. Thankfully Seikel sent me a replacement and it is now installed. All is almost good. I just have to weld a washer to the bottom of the spring mount to accommodate the white silicone spring stopper that Seikel states is soooo crucial to prevent spring breakage.

Here are the lil buggers that Seikel states are so important to install
Part number 7200046. Dealer is fresh out of them, obsolete now.
Does anyone on here use these?
They are shown in etka.
Are these only to be used for a syncro lift kit? Or at all times no matter lowered , syncro or non syncro.?

Here's where they go, but on my eurovan the diameter of the hole is 10mm which is too large to keep the stopper in place

Glue them in with sika flex or something.

OEM VW ones, £81 on eBay, expensive but they are good quality and fit well.
