Geez why didn't I think of that before? Oh right, I have been to Goodyear, Pep Boys, and Autozone and all three will not touch the car if it is lowered. Come on pal, get your knowledge right. Anyone have a helpful response??

Well it does say Midas.....Auto Wheel Alignment. They do wheel alignments over here. I had mine done at Les Schwab, but I know they are only west coast. All I was trying to say was to look it up in the phone book or an online phone book.

When placing the center big nut (after compressing the spring and putting back the other components of the strut), you put the strut back into the car and tighten the center big nut some more, but how tightly do you screw it? I noticed that I could tighten the center big nut more into the strut assembly on one side compared to the other side (i.e. on one side the center big nut can be screwed in more deeply than the center big nut on the other side) I think this has resulted in slight lowering difference between the two sides. Please help.

You have to make sure the metal plate seats on the top of the strut shaft. If you flip the metal plate over, you'll see that the hole has two flat sides. The strut shaft has threads with two flat sides near the base of the threads.

Thanks so much!
I used this to install the K Sport springs on my toaster. This was so easy to follow, and so clearly documented it may the job easy! In fact, it took me longer to clean up the tools than it did to do the install. Okay, not quite, but close!
