    How do I remove LCA bolts?

    Hmmmm.....I am talking about the front LCA, are you thinking of the rear?.....I had the whole thing apart, spring, balljoint, spindle....nothing left but the arm and the 2 bolts and I could not get them to move at all....totally frozen in place...I gave up and put it all back together with all...

    Eibach spring install problem

    I plan to work on it again this weekend.....I will borrow the spring compressor from Autozone so I can turn the springs back to where they should be, then load the arm with the jack to make sure that they are in the right place. I should have looked at them as I put them in originally, but I...

    Steering leak problem

    Wow...thanks for responding Hissin...that is exactly what I wanted to hear...I looked this morning and there was no new puddle.......so at least that is good for now....I do have some sort of leak going on, but it is a slow leak that may be coming from the oil pan, which I have read is a total...

    How do I remove LCA bolts?

    I want to replace the bushings in the LCA, and I managed to get the two inside nuts off (I put a 24mm Craftsman wrench on it and kicked it)...but then I could not get the two bolts to budge. My impact would not budge the bolts and there was no room to hit them from the inside......so how do I...

    Eibach spring install problem

    I can do one corner at a time (I read that on another website) and use my floorjack to load the spring, then torque the balljoint, shock mount etc....is that what you mean?....at least that way I can watch as the spring sets into the LCA.

    Eibach spring install problem

    Thanks for replying to my post.....can you explain a little more what you mean by torqueing the nuts/bolts when the car is on the ground?....I can't get to things when the car is on the ground (I am not sure what you mean)....I appreciate your help, cause I certainly want my springs installed...

    Eibach spring install problem

    I put in new Eibach Pro-Kit springs over the weekend and the front springs did not seem to drop as much as the rear....in fact the rear looks almost like it is sagging....because the fronts did not drop as much.....I read on this forum that I need to wait for the springs to settle in or...

    ball joint spindle just spins, can't tighten or loosen.

    OMG!!!!....what a freaking retard I am... I can't believe they even let me put a wrench to a car:shrug: The stupid spindle was spinning because I bought the Energy Suspension master kit and it came with a ball joint boot/fitting, whatever you call it....it is a poly covering that fits over...

    ball joint spindle just spins, can't tighten or loosen.

    I found this on another website, just before I read your post. I will give it a try.....apparently it is something common, with your quick response and the post on the other website. I was worried that I had twisted the head off of the spindle with the impact.....ummm....and that would be a...

    ball joint spindle just spins, can't tighten or loosen.

    When putting my new ball joints in, I tightened the nut on the spindle with an impact on low torque, then put my torgue wrench on to verify the tightness, and the nut and spindle spun in the balljoint housing....what is up with that?.....Is the spindle broken?....I looked at the other new ball...

    Installed Pro-Kit springs...questions and I have a hum noise.

    I put new Pro-Kit springs in...and it was a job that is for sure. For those who say you can do it without a spring compressor, I couldn't do it, so I got a spring compressor from Autozone. And I would never try to do the job without an impact wrench......to use the spring compressor, I had to...

    Suspension and bushings help

    hmmm...thanks for the advice....I had not thought of drilling them out, but that should work if I can't press them out with a vise and a socket.

I am putting in new Eibach Pro-Kit springs, ball joints (Moog), tie rod ends, brakes (while I am there, cause the pads are lifetime), I have Monroe shocks that I put on 5 years ago...

    MAF Torx Screw

    I could not find the security torx bit, so I used my Dremel tool to grind out the center of the screw.....then I used a regular torx on the screws....it was a simple job. Pretty funny though....after I cleaned the sensor, I was still getting a code, so I replaced it with a reman unit.....when...

    Help! front end is clunking

    Yikes.....$550 for new ball joints.....hmmmm.....it is not that difficult of a job, and the parts cost a total of $100. I am sure they are going to do the alignment as well...and those guys charge $70 per hour. When I was trying to narrow down the clunk and squeek, I suspected the rack...
