Installing OEM Suspension Help
I'm trying to install the 2 rear suspension. To take out the strut and spring we have to take out several other bolts/nuts. After switching the strut and spring, I'm having a hard time lining the holes back up to the lower control arm. No matter which bolt insert first, the last hole doesn't line up. It's always end up about 1 inch too far out (Looking from the rear, the passenger side lower control arm is 1 inch to far left). Any ideas?
Solved. Last edited by mengmoua; 06-17-2016 at 02:15 PM. |

Is the LCA still connected to both the subframe and the knuckle? If so, you might have to put a spring compressor on the spring to compress it a bit. You could also remove the bolt holding the LCA to the knuckle, but then you'll have to wrestle it back in later on.

When i did my lowering springs I had to have a buddy pull down on the RLCA to get the bottom bolt to line up to bolt up the damper. It took a fair bit of muscle. Some say to disconnect the sway bar to make it easier. Is that the one you are talking about?
