stut install-HELP

[Nighthawk]

hey folks, got an emergency question for you all. I've got a 95 4-lug. I'm in the processof putting on new tokicos and eibach prokits. 3 corners went just dandy. The left front just won't collapse enough to install the bolts. Any ideas? &nbsp;Do I need both left and right side jacked up to do this for some reason? I do have a spring compressor, and the spring is collapsed but the strut itself is quite strong it seems. Again, any ideas? Thanks all!!!! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

if you mean you can't get the steering knuckle down far enough to slide the two big bolts through the strut then i think i know your problem. if you have a front sway bar you will need to jack up both sides. after that everything will line up perfectly. don't feel bad, i did the exact same thing and it took me like 5 hours to figure out why in the hell i couldn't get it. if that doesn't help let me know and i'll try to come up with something else.

It's ok I needed a break anyways. Thanks a bunch! Doesn't seem right being called a NEWBIE being a 4 year owner. But I guess this earned it for me! LOL!!

tnord - dude - everytime I look at your car.. &nbsp;I think.. &nbsp;damn. &nbsp;Thats sweet lookin. &nbsp;Makes me really want a 97-98 model.

thanks chimp......my kosei's will be on come sat, after that i'm gonna get some decent pics and send it in to SCC, i think i'll get in.

i see 95-96 models and i think damn.....i coulda got one of those for 7 grand less and thrown a turbo on and it woulda cost me the same

but it does feel good knowing there are only about 500 cars in my year similarly equipped, so i keep it.......and try and keep it in good shape

so far so good. definitely stiffer/firmer. I had 50k on my non-SE susp. What a diff! Even got an alignment today. Was actually within specs upon arrival, but they dialed it in even better. Will post pics when I get around to it. Also added a rear sway bar. Woohoo. Thanks all!
