i have a 97 lude witha bad strut how do i replace it? i searched but didnt find anything

 

-Jack up car
-remove wheel
-remove lower strut fork to lca bolt
-remove strut pinch bolt
-loosen strut tower nuts
-remove brake line bolts
-remove strut and spring assembly
-compress spring
-remove top hat nut
-remove old strut and replace in reverse order

 

I wrote a how-to on preludepower for installing kyb shocks and ground cover coilovers. This should help you get ur strut replaced too!

thanks guys

 

you dont sell a car that has "bad valves" when the entire motor is trashed.

whoever looked at this car and told you it was the valves should be swiftly punched in the *****.

Are you lost?

 

thats exactly what i was thinking... struts = suspension... this = prelude forum. and TEGGER is telling us about BAD VALVES and a trashed motor..

im forced to pull the JDMWTF? card. the guys in the integra forums are trying to invade, time to install a nice machine gun setup since i dont have fogs anyways.

 

wow guys. lets tie this together... the prelude hes talking about is from MN... the integra i was talking about is from SC.... catch my drift?

Let me guess, you bought his old Integra LS with bent valves and he didn't tell you. According to his sig. he sold an LS Turbo'd Integra, and according to your sig. you have a blown LS motor up for sale

 

i woulda never put that one together
