Replacement Parts for MPHAS Kit?
A shop who had to re-install my BMW MPHAS kit forgot to replace the little allen screw that fits in the perch to keep it from moving. They also mangled the perch.
Any suggestions where I can find this? I assume the perch is a similar size to most other coil over perches but I can't seem to find this damn screw anywhere. Update 6/6/18 > Resolved the screw issue I ordered this stainless steel hex grub kit on Amazon and it had a screw that fit properly. You can probably also get the KW version of this but I didn't want to guess it. Update 6/7/18 > Resolved the perch issue Basically, I'm SOL. The perch is only sold with the kit. Guess I will have to buy a new kit to replace what they damaged. Last edited by slaughter.mode; 06-07-2018 at 12:49 PM.. |

Don't know the thread but I'm pretty sure it was just a stainless setscrew with a flat tip. You can get replacements at McMaster https://www.mcmaster.com/#set-screws/=1d66m91
Or if there is a suspension shop near you you can take the car in and they can check it out. Most likely something from KW might work. I'm not planning on having my ride on the lift anytime soon (nor do I have the time!). You def want to get something on these so the perch doesnt spin a bit anytime you're turning the wheel. |

The screw isn't really that critical especially if you dropped the height all the way.

Yeah I know I didn't want to though I just had no choice because it spins so freely. Still, I just figure it should be present for warranty reasons, etc. BMW dealers in my area are extremely nit picky.

Interesting, mine spin with minimal effort. I can literally use 3 fingers to grip and turn it either way.
