Doh!

Heh... In all my wisdom, I assembled my rear struts without boot covers...

Take the mounts on-and-off is a pain in the arse..

Bah, they're so cheap though!

I installed the rear mounts crooked I think, I have to take them off anyways.

Double-tap:

Alrighty, so my rears are taking forever, although they are the originals, I think (dam rusty 18mm bolt! )

Anyhow, as I wait for the Liquid Wrench / WD-40 combo to loosen that last bad-boy, I was wondering, what's the likely cause for the suspension to sit unevenly? One of my fronts is giving me a gap of almost four fingers, the other one barely fits three. What gives?

And yup, had to 're-align' the rear mounts...



On an entertaining note I snapped a chrome socket... Guess I really shoudn't be using those with a 400ft/lb impact gun, eh?

(Yes, I have impact sockets, but not in that 18mm size... Before anyone cries about it... )
