let me explain more i was on my phone when i posted above.. 1st off this is my first time and my brother in laws to install something like this.. Well let me tell ya we spent from 12:45 till 7:15 screwing around on the front driver side ....
Ok we were trying to re install the strut and my brother and i both had our feet on the lca pressing down while another guy was trying to put the lower strut in .. well when we were pressing down the lca just went limp and fell a few inches without us having to press down.. Is this bad?
We went ahead with installing everything and had the spindle on but we could not get the tie rod back on the spindle (We swapped tierod ends).. We used a jack to jack up the lca hoping it would go high enough to slide the tierod end thru the bottom of the spindle still needed about and inch more of hieght. Does the tierod end go in from the bottom up or top down on the new spindle? I thought i read that a min ago? Also the long bolt that slides in the bottom of the spindle has no thread after my brother tried to back it out.. I need new bolt. Also stripped one of the nuts that goes onto the swaybar (i think its the swaybar) that connects to the lca it is has two rotating bolts with rubber boots on them.. Anyway we had a rough time with this install. The tierods were a ***** to break loose and i mean a ***** but finally were able to break em. But i just need to know about the lca not springy anymore.
