Question about replacing front struts
I ordered the Bilstein 5100's for the front end on my 4WD, moog coil springs, and mevotech strut mounts. The Bilstein's didn't come with bushings or washers. Just the shock, dust cover and nut. The Movetech strut mounts look like they have a thick bushing built in. Do I need to order strut bushings for this?
Also the moog 81088 coils are very close together (9 total coils) and my macpherson spring compresser clamps barely fit through the gaps of the coils at the free length. I haven't tried to compress and mount yet but my thinking is once I compress and get the assembly installed then I won't be able to get my spring compresser out of the coil. Any insight would help.
