    Changing Struts/Springs

    Getting the new ones in is no problem at all. Since they're a lot shorter they just slide in. Then you jack up on the a-arm until you can get the strut bolts in. Once it's seated properly in the bottom of the a-arm it won't pop out as your jacking it up. Good luck.. keep the questions coming!
