spring and shock combo install..NEed HElp!

alright so i took out my driver side, and i cant seem to replace the new t1r and spring.

i tried springs compressors but that doesnt help


the shock mounting points seem to be to low and i cant drop the hub or else the axle will pop out. then i guess ill have more problems to deal with.

how did yall mount them up? i have taken this out like 4 times and this is the first time i have ever encountered any problems.

if you had the same problem and or you know what to do. please give me a call at 858-774-7442


ill be outside trying to figure this out.


thanks.

Even for my coilovers I had to get it aligned with the hub correctly for it to kinda slide in. Do you have the wheel turned all the way to the left. I had to finagle the shocks a bit myself to get them out of the car. When I removed the stock shock I just rested my hydrolic jack under the hub so it doesn't move. That gave me some room to play.

...disconnected the swaybar already?

SD_MR_FIT,
Did you disconnect the front swaybar? If not, then that might be why you are having trouble getting enough room to work with.
