Hello all,

I spent a whole day taking one one side of the rear shock/strut combo, but now I cant put the bastard back in!!

Whats the best trick to accomplish this? Anyone got pics? I searched but really didnt find detailed instructions. I know you can accomplish this without disconnecting rear balljoint.

Did u guys have the spring compressed while puting them back into car, or just to put the cap on, but removed before installation?

Any help pls let me know thanks! I will be back at it tomorrow.

 

you will need to compress the spring to install it

 

Right, I compressed it to assemble the strut/spring assembly, but once I put the bolt on the top hat I took off the compressors. Do I need to keep the compressors on even though I got it assembled already?
