Just pressed in my new BJ, bolted on spindle to BJ...went to bolt strut to spinde housing but the hole dont reach by 1"...guess the strut contracted by 1" when i unbolted it HOW can i extend the strut by 1" so the holes line up?
Thanks much in advance.
Loosen up the control arm bolts themselves to allow the control arm move more freely there. I had to do that myself to get the arm to have more movement. That should give you the movement you need to get it connected.
found out what to do on yahoo answers....had floor jack under coil spring, a guy told me to put a bottle jack under ball joint for better coil spring compression and it worked.
