ok so i ordered a set of skunk 2 coilovers for my ep. is there any way to put in the fronts without hyper extending the axle???

 

All the negatives on here about Skunk2 suspension and you still order a set?

Anyhow, what do you mean 'hyper-extending' the axle? You mean the axle popping out of the CV?

 

yeah where at the tranny end of the axle those little bearings pop out and ur rotor will be laying almost flat twards you. i have never been able to pull out the front struts without this happening its not so much a huge pain but just a hassle that im wondering if i can get around.

 

Use a ratchet strap or thick bungie cord around the rotor area to keep it upright. Strap from the front of the control arm area to around the back, around the swaybar-ish area.

 

AFTER THE COILOVERS ARE PUT IN PLACE,LIFT FROM UNDERNEATH THE SPINDEL WITH A JACK WHILE PUSHING IT IN TORWARDS THE CAR.ONCE THE AXLE IS ABOUT HORIZONTAL THE POP RINGS WILL GIVE AND THE AXLE WILL SLIDE INTO PLACE.THE PASSENGER SIDE IS MORE DIFFICULT THEN THE DRIVER.

 

should have waited and saved up for something better...
