Aaah, Scoobies in their natural element...at the shop with hoods up and parts ripped off the suspension.
good looking jackstands under them cars, the Safety Polices approve 100%

haha, I mind as well enlighten you all, Nate was convinced there were 3 bolt holes in the bottom of the coilover. It turned out he had just missed the hole and pushed the bolt under the coilover, thus giving his car massive amounts of camber. Good thing we caught that.

also +49 to nate's (very expensive) paperweight
BTDT only it was from a Saab Turbo and there were bits of valve driven thru top of the piston

Who needs air tools when you've got a 3 foot breaker bar
Yeah and let me tell you, when those bottom strut bolts break it sounds like a freaking 9mm.

then they have been left alone too long (and were probly too tight)
goop em up with nevr-seiz, torque to 125-150 ft lbs and be done with it
next time they buzz right off
Yea when they let loose it was actually kinda scary. I was looking around for what broke.
Yea M&A's paperweight made me sad. That pauter rod tried to make babies with that CP piston.
I was still dead tired after moving the day before so I wasn't thinking straight hence the mega camber/ 3 bolt screw up. Its funny because were doing this outside and I see one of M&A's customers looking at us in horror as were stomping on the breaker bar:lol: they were probably thinking there car was next.
