3rd Gen RWD Strut Replacement

[Bad Luck]

My camber bolt adjustment is seized up. It's possible that my mechanic can use heat and penetrating oil, but would like to have the new parts on hand if he has to cut them off.

Ahhh I read that as something along the lines of SPC upper control arms not the alignment cams and bolts/nuts.

Also, do you think your springs will hold my vehicle up at ~20" even with the load of your 4WD swap for the last few years?

One more thing...I need to get a camber/caster adjusting kit. Would you have any preference on which one to get? Looks like they're all about the same.

I'll be getting the KYB Gas-A-Just struts and mounts.

:thanks:

Most on here will have experience with lift springs from other manufacturers...

You might also be able to find used parts more local to you with a search here: Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market

As for the front adjusters, Timmy has a great video on it (with part numbers!):

Then just put it all together with "Canadian Assembly Lube" (aka anti-seize).

Well, now that I've taken some time to finally look at the wealth of information on this forum, it's got my mind spinning. LOL. Probably needed to do that before posting questions.

I've found a lot on spring/shock options and am trying to put it all together. Since I have a 2WD, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to go really extreme on things. Just want a decent, nice riding and aesthetically pleasing whip. Was thinking about putting OME 906 springs on the back, either 99 Tall or OME 880 in the front, and Bilstein 5100s all the way around. Thinking that would be a decent, but maybe overkill for a 2WD. Still looking around.

Thanks to all that have helped me out!
