yesterday i installed a pair of tokico blues and ground control coilovers in my front only. ran out of time. so the car was lowered and it was very bumpy and rough. this morning i raised it up to see if this could help out the situation. but theres was a huge problem. the driver side strut was sticking up about 3-4 inches from the strut tower. i then noticed a nice dent in my hood from when it was lowered before. my hood is dented and the paint is cracked on the outside. but the big problem is the strut sticking all the way up. any ideas on why this is happening, and how can i fix it?

 

hehe, you forgot that big washer on the strut

#13 (something like that)

 

yeah soon after i posted this and thought real hard about what was going on i figured the washer that made it on the passenger strut never made it on the driver side.


heh... doesnt look like the washer i need made it home with me from the shop. its lost :-|

 

you should have followed helms or haines. I bet you wont do that again.

 

(sigh) sad part is i assemebled the passenger side, the guy who usually knows more about suspension than i do did the driver side.

and yeah, i wont let him near my car again.

but whatever, the washer is gone and i cant drive it. im getting a different friend with a truck, renting a dolly and towing it up to the shop i usually go to. they said somethign about putting all of them on for $120.
