beware of bad end links, grease top strut bearings, soak strut bolts with pb blaster, if you got air tools it makes job easzy, by hand can be an adventure

yeah i got the front done and movin to the back now...looks great but got no air so it is an adventure.
ok well got into the back and the back 2 struts are blown...when i push them down they have absolutely no rebound back up...so went to advanced auto and ordered 2 more ....63 bucks a piece...well this turned out to be a crappy day. This post has been edited by Jared95: Aug 5, 2007 - 5:11 PM |

well i was riding on blown struts so it couldn't be worse than that. haha but i might have to do the same if they are as bad as u say.
oh and is it natural for the springs to pop after u first put them on..i got the front done and was backing it into the garage and heard a loud popping noise coming from the drivers side spring when i turned the wheel..i didnt think much of it because i figured they had to adjust.

well i went up to get my shocks today and the guy looked around for a minute and said " well i guess i didn't order it" so i told him he was a dumb a$$ and went to 5 different part stores looking for my rear struts..finally went to car quest and they said they could get KYBs for only 10 bucks more a shock. so i guess thats good.
