Good to hear you got it back together but how so? May help some of us a little later on.

Took the struts off the car and the springs to the local goodyear and 30 minutes and $47.50 later, they swapped them out for me. Then I reinstalled them.

A tip for anyone who does go this route. Mark the alignment of the top hats in relation to the strut. One of the 3 corners should be in line but perpendicular to the bottom strut hole. If they don't put them properly, you won't be able to reinstall.

Mike...They did the same thing to me...Wrong locking lugs without even asking for them. Finger tight here too..Needless to say, they are now in the trash. On the alignment, that info is readily available in the downloadable service manual. I have no idea why dealers keep saying they're not avalilable (your's is not the first). They have also been posted here in the suspension section. A search should turn them up..
