Default trouble install springs/shocks on 98 accord

springs- eibach sportline
shocks- stock *blown*

we only got to finish the front, we had trouble putting the passenger side assembly in the car.

we put all the parts back except the rubber ring that goes on top of the hat right over the rod.

is that what is causing the car to rattle and shake?

we didnt have a spring compressor (didnt think i would need one for lowering springs & it was midnight when we started).

You will need that rubber strut cushion to get ride of the noise and possible the vibration. Check to see if any thing got bent.

for the rears, youll need to lay the backseat down, pull the side-cushions out (they're next to the backseat, the seatbelts run down over them). then there's some plastic peice thatll run between the top of the back seat and the platform with the speakers mounted in them, that plastic peice pops right out. underneath the side cushions youll see the nuts holding the shocks in place. Proceed as you did with the fronts. should be easier with the rears.
