dont strip the top part where u put vicegrips, i used a towel, but said fuggit after awhile. if u do, gotta buy a new one.

also, the threads on the strut dont keep goin, they do stop after awhile. i got my bolt all the way to that part.

i think the bolt should be like 12-18ft.lbs, but dont quote me on that.

on my rear setup, when it is jacked up, my spring can be slid around.

you just have to make sure when u lower the car, the spring is lined up with the perch and the rubber thing that sits on top of it.

make sure that the two rubber bushings are on both sides of the mounting plate, then the washer, and bolt.

peace
