Alright me and a buddy worked on my car for looongg tonight..

its a 88 4door ..

we lowered 3 out of 4 corners...
the 4th one .. the bolts under neath just kept turning and turning to come off.. but wouldnt grab on anything.. making it so we couldnt get it GOING.. ya know?..

it was really weird.

anyone know what I am talking about?? and any help??
THANKS!!
:smile:


ALSO

Me and a buddy did the coils on my car today...

now, when we did the rear (its a 88 civic 4 door)..
the middle of the shock has that protector on it to block the dirt/crap from going onto the bar that compresses...

we took off the protector because the coil wouldnt go down without it gone...

now from what I REMEMBER the shocks should still be good to go without that protector thingy .. right?
if not, we gotta jack it up and some how make a protector for them ....

any ideas???

right now they look like this
without the protector u can SEE the metal behind the coil

check that one bolt again someone might of been in there before u and made it a nut and bolt set-up and now ur just spinning the nut on the other side or u have it loose already and u just have to pull it thats how they were on my hatch good luck man

 

ok we got stuck on the bolt that the strut is attached to in the driver side rear....

there are 3 bolts total holding the strut in place... 2 in the trunk and 1 big **** in the bottom, control arm or whatever......

we got the nut off of the inside end, but the screw is still in there and just wont come out....... it spins, and we have tried tapping it through the other side.. and nothing....
weve used impact, breaker bar, everything... and it spins and wont come OUT..

it makes no sense and its just frusterating.

 

take a punc or a screwdriver and a hammer and from the side you took the nut off and hit it till it comes out. you could also try to take a little weight off of the suspenion by jacking the suspension up a tiny bit
