1999 2.5RS
OK, got the old strut combo off and assembled the new strut combo. Old = KYB AGX and Tein S-Techs. New = SPT and KYB GR-2's.
I jacked up the front left side of the car only and was able to get the old assembly out. It was a pain though. Took 2 hours! I've assembled the new set (got spring compressor) but now can't get the large 19mm bolt holes on the strut to line up with the holes on the steering knuckle. The strut bottom is about 2" below the holes of the steering knuckle and with every muscle I had I cannot compress the strut assy to align it with the bolt holes.
I don't get it. Why is this so hard? Everybody else can do it in 4 - 6 hours and it's going to take me atleast 12 if not until tomorrow.
How do you put the struts back on the car?
