Yeah they were hitting that fender lip. so I bent it from a 180degree angle to almost a 80 with a steel bar and paint didnt really chip because I used my mommys hair dryer
And it cracked in one spot where the lip is in side the wheel base. So you cant see it. Plus this _____ is getting sprayed in about a week-month.

I tryed knocking that dent out and it just put heavier dents on the metal. and it didnt pop out because its on a seam.

 

Do we actually need a breaker bar for install? lol, i don't feel like buying one.
and, or a torque wrench? I could see a torque wrench being more important than a breaker bar..

 

theres not way that could happen with stock rims sorry, its just not possible at all.

 

either will work. But if you have strength you wont need it.

 

F___king brute-strength. I needed to put a pipe on the end of my breaker bar to get a few of the stock suspension bolts loose. Maybe I'm weak?

 

 

my ____ was all rusty and old. 5 yrs of snow and salt does damage, but when it came to peters (1greektc) his bolts and stuff came off easy since its a newer car

 

We still used power tools, no need to ____ with hand tools.

 

even with power tools my ____ wasnt coming off lol we had to wd40 and try every so often till we go them loose

 

your car is only a year older than mine, and mine wasn't rust at all, except for the brakes But I live in KY, we have some nasty storms, just not as bad as ny.

But men dont need breaker bars...

 

my car came out in august 04 according to the manufacture sticker. but the salt and snow ____ed my whole underbody and bolts up. North east winters suck

 

maybe i'm missing something, but why can't I adjust the rear coilovers when they are on the car? They are insanely tight! Plus, there is little to no room to move around back there. I got the lock nut loosened, but the adjustment nut is sooo tight. And the tools they raceland gave us barely fit around the rears.

 

maybe your stuff is siezed already. you did jack the car up right?

 

I'm at firestone and they said they can't lift my car. But they said they will try.

 

lol yeah i'm not that dumb

I just forgot to adjust them before i installed them and I had like two inches before I was even close to being slammed. Just sprayed some wd-40 on them and bam! it's loose. I'm at two threads left in the front and one in the rear. But my passenger side sits a little higher than my drivers.. damn. lol, i'm too tired to change it now. I'll post pics when they settle

 

well i installed the replacement strut rides 1,000 times better...hope it doesn't blow again, well im now running 1 perch ring, and it didn't seem to make it any lower...pretty disappointed, and have second thoughts about taking the passenger side ring out...hope it settles lower.

oh and the strut i removed was completely destroyed ill take pictures tomorrow...its pretty gnarly.

 

came off my car this way...
i had to hammer this part in to get the locking ring off.

you can tell where it was rubbing. (unpainted area)

more rubbing.

 

So was it bent and touching the wheel?

 

nope never touched the wheel, just the inner tube came loose, and was bouncing around in the strut housing...causing me to bottom out on EVERY THING, i got pulled over for scraping...throwing sparks in front of a cop car is not fun, ended up getting a ticket for no front plate, and a warning for being "to low".
