installed gound controls, front only for now Options

[Cormudgen]

insalled my gound control coilovers today. the front wasnt hard at all. the ginding that i was scared about is very miniscule compared to the amount of grinding one of my friends had to do on his 240sx.

when trying to do the back i ran into this problem.


*piece a*(real name slips my mind rignt now)-the one that connects the rear sway bar to the strut assemly had a rusty bolt in it and there was no way i'm getting it out. i'm still not sure what im going to do about this. if i need to cut it i will but i want to see how much it will cost to order this replacement piece from toyota first. i have a pic of the piece and some of my car just need to develop and then scan them. i will keep you updated on this.

also if anyone knows a good way to remove this piece(if you know what i'm talking about) let me know.

Yup I had the same problem with mine. We tried to get it off but couldn't. So we just left it on there and went about finishing the install by getting a portable grinder and just working on the housing while it was still linked to the car. It worked! Took more time, but we got the job done.

But once you do get that linkage off, I suggest getting a new one. Because it's probably already stirpped and could be dangerous if it is.

That's what I was told when I took it to my friends uncles shop. That a lot of times when it becomes like that you risk damaging it even more trying to get it off. I took my car in after the install to get a realignment and he retightend that link after we told him we tried taking it off.
