HAPPY MONDAY MORNING ALL: :hello:

After first repping Mr. K., I proceeded to rep the usual suspects until cut-off by the admin.

Pretty uneventful weekend chasing furniture with the wifey for the son's new townhouse. The little sh#t gets back from a six week business trip in Calgary to a freshly painted, fully furnished townhouse without having to endure the pain of that miserable four hour closing session last week.

Looking forward to watching The Masters this week. It's one of my rites of Spring that lead to summer:

- Final Four
- The Masters
- Kentucky Derby
- Indy 500 (WHOOT!) :excited:
- LeMans
- Tour de France
- Countdown to football season

Okay, that goes into the fall, but you see where I'm going with this. :happydance:

Have a great week.

Woof.

Morning everyone

:hello:

oh my gosh my insides hurt. --eastwest

some jalapeno beef jerky... RIP to the toilet

Bottom one is for the springs on struts. Top one is for coil springs. :tiphat:


I believe that if you are doing Swifts, you are pulling the whole front strut and replacing it with a pre-assembled Swift. No need for the bottom compressor. But...... I could be wrong.....

When i did my swifts, we used the bottom picture ones. It was scary at times. The amount we had to compress them was worrying.

We took the stock springs off of the struts and compressed the swift springs onto the stock struts.

After reading the linked thread, I stand corrected. I was apparently thinking of something else entirely.... :ugh2:






Not enough coffee......:eekdance:

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

The top ones will allow you to grab the very top/bottom coils bc the arms are thin but I used the bottom ones too for my Swifts, no issues getting it compressed.

Is it Friday 4:30p yet? :ugh:

Jerky Hut makes the best stuff :yum:

is it Thursday 7 am yet? :ugh:

fak, dis faking week should just :gtfo2: :mad:

:iagree:

lets take a vote. All in favor of it being a 6 day weekend? *raises hand*
Motion passed. :rock:

yah mang, this work week needz to be DEPORTED! ..to florida. :mad: :gtfo2:

Deporting my work to India!

:rofl2:

ordered a coil spring compressor, hope it works. If not there is a parts store about a mile from the house.

GL with da install! :tup:

Just remember, if this install goes South, I will find all of you that said this was easy and I am kicking your shins!

I'll make sure there's a cold beer in the fridge :eekdance:

Gosh darn I want to get the Z out on the road full time. Took a nice, slow cruise through the back country roads this weekend and it brought on Z fever pretty bad.

I dont see it being too difficult, but then again my Polish blood seems to make things more difficult than they really are. :rofl2:

I might not wear my steel toe boots if you have a Mt. Dew waiting for me :icon17:

Since I do not have the authority to outsource my job, I am going to do the next best thing. outsource my job to Ethiopian contractor!
Deported to Ethiopia!

:postwhore:

I've got a 5lb bag of sugar and full bottle of syrup, that's pretty much the same thing

That works too. As long as it has some citrus-y flavors also

I don't do the energy drink thing, but like citrus too and these ones are actually pretty tasty!

one other tip is to mark ur front strut hat which bolt goes into which hole in the strut tower. dere is an orientation and u have to screw down the shaft nut so dat the hat is in that same orientation before u mount it back on da car.

besides that, removing the endlinks from the swaybar, u need both front/rear wheels off the ground in pairs. dont force the threads out as they will strip. you should be able to push them out with your fingers with little to no force

i always use a hydraulic under da knuckle to preload da suspension before torquing da fasteners down.

just basic stuff :D
