How to get access to the strut/springs in the rear area? I remember when I got my springs installed the guy only accessed the rear through the trunk.

DIYing with friends right now. So fast help would be great!

 

I think there might be a diy on this, but to get acess to the rear struts, u have to remover the trunk liners and clips, and u should see the top hats for the rears

 

yeah just removed the lining in the trunk, the strut towers are right there

 

yup pretty much have to take all the crap out the trunk. pita but it makes it much easier.

 

The trunk liner on the sides and then there will be 2 bolts holding in the strut under the fender liners.

 

I took all the clips out, thanks guys. At the final stretch atm, got 3 coils one but this one bolt won't thread on. It's probably bc the last shop who last installed my springs 2 yrs ago stripped the thing the bolt hugs onto, with their air tools

 

try vice grips..

 

vise grips.

 

Install finished at 10 last night..talk about a nightmare when we were 3/4 of the way done with the install. Took 2 hours for that stupid bolt to thread onto where it goes, after going macguyver on it.

Things to mention, initial drop was slammed but I was rubbing so bad! Adjusted two more times and I'm still rubbing but not as bad, so adjustments will be bad asap.

When I drove home on the highway u noticed a vibration n rattle at high speeds around 60-80mph..any suggestio

When I drove home on the highway I noticed vibration n rattle at high speeds in the front wheels around 60-80mph..any suggestions of what this could be? Also the rear rubbed only when I hit non-level surface which is plentiful in NY.

Adjustments will def be made, I didn't even think I would put the coils on yesterday. Time was a big issue at the end, with the ride height adjustments.

 

Pressed quick reply by accident..I'm on mobile, lots of typos. Not "Bad asap", made asap*

 

after market wheels? if so, do you have hub rings? could also be from the car being out of alignment.

 

Take the wheels off and mount them again. This time pay more careful attention to how centered the bolts are in the wheel before tightening and make sure to use the star pattern when torquing.

 

it also could be your wheels are no out of balance or not on the stud all the way.please post of pictures when you have time.

 

I will take off and mount my wheels again.. definitely was in a rush last night. I do have hub rings and use the star pattern to tighten lugnuts.
