Question for you guys. After swapping springs on the front struts, they don't align inside the strut tower and the bottom strut mount...does that mean I have to compress the springs , loosen the top hat and redo?

You can use a large screw driver (or anything that fits in the lower strut hole) and turn it until it's at the proper location. (leave the top of the strut bolted to the strut tower)

Will this put extra stress on the strut by twisting it into position like that?

Did you mark your hat before you took it off the car?

The orientation is important

They have machines that do it at the factory. Also Mike the powdercoater has recommended it, and I did it on my own vehicles without undue stress on the struts.

The alternative is to remove them and redo the strut/spring install off the vehicle.

Edit- Do you have the top hat located in the proper location in relation to the strut tower? It's just the bottom of the strut that is out, I assume?

It would be awesome if 300 of you chipped in $2 each. Then I could buy 600 powerball tickets. If we hit the jackpot each if us would get $1 million. :)

Well, when I win it tonight, I'll send you $100,000. Deal?

Probably, but then there's the exchange rate, so it's like $3 in Loonies.

These girls at work told me they spend $20 on a cup from Starbucks.

I asked what kind of drink they got, they said, "Nothing. It was just a cup." :facepalm: Really? :shakes head:
