Rear Spring/Strut Install Question
Well I just took off my Rear Tein and when Im putting the OEM unit back on, the suspension hangs lower than where it needs to bolt on. Both sides of the car are jacked up. How can I get the suspension to line up with the bottom bolt (the one u need to push on one side of).

Thanks

Try using a floor jack to raise it up so you can get the bolt lined up.
