I went to the stealership and orderd everything, including a measuring device etc. I used the pvc method as well to get the new oil seal in, with the old oil seal on top and hammering it down into place. There is no leaks so I am assuming the oil seal took.

Yes I can hear a like bang noise that sounds like metal on metal. I am only getting maybe 3 inches of travel as well.

Is the smaller spring about 2 inches in length supposed to be able to move freely up and down in the lower cylinder between the very bottom of the cylinder with the small tapered cap and top of the nail/tapered cylinder thing? I thought that was kinda weird almost like the spring should be on the top of the nail thing.

Also does the nail/tapered cylinder fit into the upper cylinder? like should the upper cylinder slide down and over that nail/cylinder thing and rest on the smaller spring?

From what you can see/read in my little picture does that look correct?
