I have a friend who is having a problem with his front suspension. When the strut/spring is out the pass side lca has a lot of tension on it and its very difficult to get the strut back in (or out for that matter). Then, when the coilover sleeve and spring are installed it completely compresses the spring. Have tried switching the strut and get the same result. Could this be a problem with a LCA? driver side of car is fine.
