  1. Don't think I forgot anything, especially on the rears. There wasn't too many pieces to begin with. The only thing I can think of is that when the assemblies were complete, the top isolator rubber was kind of molded to the old springs and when the new ones went on, they didn't mold as nicely since they are a different shape. So, the tophats were kind of at an angle due to this. I'm thinking the completed assemblies went in with the tophats at opposing angles. But, wouldn't that eventually settle once the rubber molds to the new springs?
  2. I know... but I double checked each side before installing, and I'm positive each side is correct. Could it be the orientation of the perch on the strut body? In other words the coil end on one side was facing the outside of the car and on the other it was facing the inside??
  3. So after my install of Koni yellows with Tein H springs, my right rear is sitting about an inch higher than the left rear. I know for a FACT that the lower perch is not on upside down on either side. But I know the orientation was different as far as which direction the perches were facing. Did I screw this up?? Can't think of what else it could be??
  4. Hmmm. I dunno. I stick the key in and it won't engage the adjustment fitting at all. I can spin the key around with it sitting flush with the body and nothin'
  5. This stud worked perfect. Perfect length, thread pitch and tapped right into place...
  6. I disagree. I have a sedan, and I can tell you 100% it IS too short!! Needle nose pliers will be a b*tch based on the amount of room back there. Think I will check the DIY
  7. ^^ Thanks. Anyone figured out how to adjust the rear Koni's as the supplied key is to short??
  8. So just to clarify... It is a M10 X 1.25 X 29mm. At Napa, it's a wheel stud for a 1994-2000 Metro. Does it matter which way the lower perch faces on the rear Koni's?? Doesn't seem like it would... I wasn't to careful about the orientation on the first one. Side note: The black bolt provided by Koni to secure the bottom of the insert in the strut assembly was cracked across the bolt head from the center to the edge Didn't notice it until the assembly was completed...
  9. Seems short and fat to me, but i guess it's the one. Definitely fatter than the fronts. Haven't checked the backs yet. Just want to be all set for swapping on Saturday. Will be hard to get to the parts store when my rig is disassembled if it's the wrong part
  10. This is what I got from the auto parts store. Does this look like the right part for use in conjunction with the 3/8" saggy butt spacers??? http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/7662/ns47.jpg
  11. Just called NAPA. First they need to know a year. I just threw out 2000... He said the stud is a T12 - 1.25?? Seems kind thick for that app??? Can anyone confirm this?? Provide more accurate specs??
