Hello again,

  I posted this about 2 weeks ago with no responses.  I thought I might try
again.  I purchased a set of KYB's from a list vendor and had a local shop
install them.  Anyway, Handling is great but small bumps seem excessively loud
as if something is loose.  I jacked up the van last night and used a 2x4 to
slowly lift the right front wheel (the loudest one).  Before the shock
compressed at all, I noticed the nut and washer at the top of the shock
lift 1/8" and separate from the bushing.  They were still touching in the
middle, but there is a 1/16" gap around the perimeter of the washer.  The
installer tossed the instruction set.  Is this spec or should I tighten that
nut more?

Thanks,
Vernon
