springs and shocks goin in soon!
Sunday, January 23, 2011 7:22 PM
Tomorrow ill be getting a pass to leave all my classes (that I don't need) to spend a few days in my schools auto shop so I can install my pro kit and agx shocks. Just wanted to know if there was any tips or tricks in doing this since I have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks!

In my opinion if u have no idea what u are doing than u should not do it. When u compress the springs to install the strut assembly on them , well if its not right it can severely injure or kill u or someone else. Im a professional mechanic and have been for 8+ years and they still make me alittle nervous.

Your shop instructor will be a great thing to have.

You'll need an impact for the rear bottom strut bolt, or at least a very very big breaker bar.
There's really not much to it though. Our suspension is literally 5 bolts per strut and out they come. (4 in the rear)

Fronts are easy as pie. three bolts on top, 2 on the bottom. you might have to heat up the bottom bolts a little to get them to release the rust. But you may not have to.
