perch sliding itself on the coilover

im dropped on sleeved coilovers with stock shocks and im having problems with the perch sliding downward of the coilover so its making one side of my car lower than the other. their is still some leftover grease/lube on the coilover itself and on the top mount plates and under the spring itself. im not sure if that can be one of its issues but someone enlighten me im tired of adjusting my coilovers higher every month

thanks

What coilovers are these? You should have at least 2 perches that lock together when you turn them against each other.

If it's ground control then there is only 1 perch that is "locked" onto the sleeve. I think it's the same with skunk2's. You might want to check that your perch is properly tightened. If it's not tight, make it tight.

its tight alright, it'll prob take few weeks til then it starts working its way down. and their skunk2 coilovers, forgot to mention.

do you think it can be the leftover grease/lube on the coilover?

get some BLUE thread locker and apply it the threads of the sleves. do not use too much. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE BLUE kind and NOT the RED.. RED is permanent...
