After reading johns install thing I still have a couple of questions to the DIY'ers
The top nut on the front since it has very little pressure is that going to be a problem to put back on? Common sense question but not POSITIVE: the rubber ends on the springs go to the top right? im like 95% positive they do. In the Tein thing they recommend getting a new lock nut? wtf is this and do I need it? Do i need alignment? I've heard yes and no. With the money I save I can pay to get it done. Shops in the area wanted ****ing 400 bucks. This post has been edited by Andason: Jun 8, 2004 - 12:09 PM -------------------- i am awesome

yes, the rubber end goes up. you can use the old lock nut, I used it. I do see a need to get an alignment right away. Its an easy install, if you dont use a spring compresor the becareful taking out the top nut cause the stock spring is under pressure. Dont forget to cut the rubber stumps on the shock shaft.
It will take you about 4 hours to do. good luck DEF --------------------  I will return one day. |
