Hey guys!
I've already got the old shocks out of the strut and tower and the new coilover shock in...
I'm having a TON of trouble getting the strut lined up to the shock because of 2 problems:
1. The axel won't go down further for me to line it up with it still in the rotor, therefore making it too high to get under and around the shock
2. If I detach the axel and control arm, I have to move the axel out of the way so I can line it up. The problem with that is, I can line the shock up but can't get the axel back behind the rotor because the brake line is then in the way.
I feel like I've tried every damn thing to get it on. Some sort of walk through for the PASSENGER SIDE specifically would be awesome.
Anyone with an idea, help me out.
Thanks,
Ryan
