Thread: Stock Struts/Coils don't fit

I'm in the process of installing the stock struts/coils in the front. I used coil compressors to get the strut and coil together. Everything was fine until I went to install them into the car.

The strut with the stock coil is too long, I don't seem to have enough clearance to get it on the knuckle. Checked the FSM and nothing there, searched both forums and nothing.

Maybe undo the brake line mounts and swaybar endlinks.

That should let you push the control arm further down easier.

I agree,or did you already do that?

Jack up both wheels fool!

Removed the other wheel and that did the trick. Didn't even think about the sway bar . When I installed the Road Magnets, since they are lower profile, didn't have to worry about this.

wait......waitwaitwaitwait............you were trying to put ur struts on with the wheels still on the car....arnt mods supposed to know what the hell they are doing!? at least to their own cars. such a newb

I hope by remove, you mean jacked up...

Pretty sure he meant that he jacked up both sides and was able to accomplish the task. English is his second language, remember?

Nah I meant to say I removed the other wheel, after jacking up the car, and that did the trick.

Way to not be able to read between the lines and jump to a conclusion and then call a person newb .

all i can say is HAHAHAHA
