Help with struts

**rkhousman** · #1: 04-28-2013, 04:41 PM

Just wondering if anyone here in the area has the tools and time to help me out with installing new struts on my 05 LGT? Had a strut blow out Thursday and just got in new KYB's to replace the stock struts. Soaked all the lower hardware with PBlaster today. I have only done struts once and it was about 15 yrs ago so not real comfortable trying to tackle the job myself as I am all to well aware of the dangers.

It goes without saying I will compensate anyone for their time and help. Just shoot me a PM.

I am *always* happy to help other Legacy owners and I don't take compensation. I just help. - I have the tools too but I am not close by which is the only problem. What can I do to help?

The only thing I am lacking in the tool dept is a spring compressor (needed) and Air tools to make the job easier. However having to travel a bit of a distance isn't a problem, so I figured I would put a feeler out for some help to save myself some cash. However I did ask Alberto for a quote and I know he is fair on prices but $$ is tight and I don't start work for another two weeks.

I can help you this coming weekend on saturday if you're interested. I have the air tools and spring compressors.

If you can drop the car and parts off with me for a day I can get this done for you. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

I can also supply the parts if needed.

Saturday would work and it would be greatly appreciated. Just remembered while I have everything pulled apart I need to replace the right front CV as well! I will give everything another good shot of PBlaster Friday night as well.

Sigma I will get with you later in the week to confirm that Saturday is still good for you, and to find out where I am going!

want to help me with my konis?

great to hear that you're getting help.

Koni inserts? That's a bit more involved than just a swap of suspension parts...

mrjk77 I will have a set of donor struts cut prepped and ready in a few days if you want I will sell them to you!

I'm in Lunenburg if you ever need a hand, looks like you have this all figured out though

**rkhousman** · #**13:** 05-08-2013, 07:30 PM

Yeah job is actually complete now!

you wouldn't have liked it. we test fitted one of the worlds first elliptical drive axles. It was decided not to be a very good idea.

**rkhousman** · #**15:** 05-10-2013, 07:13 AM

Yeah def not the way to go! Atleast it was a quick and easy fix and gave little problems once identified!
