help with rear strut install

[Hksdrager7]

I can get the back struts in. I tried removing the rear a arms, those are a bitch to try to put back with the shock in. I put them back with out the struts even that gave me some trouble. I don't know what to do. The spring compressors are too long so I cant use those lol don't know whats left.

Get a 4 foot 2 X 4 piece of wood, put it in front of the strut between the car frame and the lower A arm. Sit on it and use it as a pry bar. It will give you the leverage you need. There is no need to remove the A arm. I think I also disconnected the sway bar - not sure. There are many threads on this topic so search and you will find.
Good Luck and Happy Motoring!

I'm a little late to this, but if you need help in the future, give me a ring. I forget what side of town your in, but I'd be happy to help.

I've done my suspension dozens of times, as well as a number of other things.

Regards,
