alright, im putting back on my stock springs on my sh prelude and i've run into a problem. I'll try to explain it with this pic from ntpog.com



On my car...the nut and bolt that is circled was put in the other way, so one of the control arms is stoping me from pulling it out. Anyone have any suggestions on what i should do? When i put in these aftermarket springs, i had to pull the whole suspension down and pull the strut/spring out, however, i don't really want to do that whole thing again cuz it caused my axle to fall out and that was a bitch putting it back in.

Thanks for the help.

 

anyone?

 

take out that bolt circled. take out bolt at the top of that piece, bottom of the shock body. its easiest for me to then unbolt the three holding the top in, and manuver the whole assembly enough to take that piece of the shock body.

anyway, i think thats what you were asking.

 

I have that issue to I have had my axel fall out and it is a real pain to get back in.. the first time it fell out I had to remove the whole thing and regrease the bearings inside and put it all back together.. Im not a total no it all when it comes to cars and so I had a friend help.. I would like to know the shortcut to not having the axel fall out?

Im sure there are alot of 4th gen owners out there that have done there own suspension. any ideas or is it just luck?

 

thats what i end up doing. Im wondering if there's any other way? Yah, having the axle fall out makes the installation twice as long. Thanks anyways, anyone else?
