wrx strut install
 

Does anyone know people or have the tools to do this? Need air tools and spring compressor. Would prefer someone with experience in doing this kind of work. Pm me if you know someone or you could help a fellow subie guy out, Thanks

You can rent the stuff you need from Autozone. I did that with their spring compressors.

You don't need airtools. I did a whole install without them before.

+1. Or spring compressors if you have a buddy.

I installed lowering springs on buddy's car last nite. It was a cake

Doing a Koni Swift Install took us about 1.75 hrs total :)

anyone want to help me, i have no clue how to do

Time for an install fest! We haven't had one of those in a while.

+1 I know I will be installing a bunch of things over the memorial day weekend, I should be down to have a few people over if they want to install some stuff too.

Air tools only useful for lug nut removal and reinstall. Everything else can be done by hand tools and a spring compressor.

Anyone available this weekend like Friday or sat?

Please be careful.

Read this thread thoroughly and understand it BEFORE doing the install. You don't want the eff up the install and have a dangerous car.

MAKE SURE to orient the conical washer correctly. Read this to understand. If the top hat on your front suspension assembly does not spin freely on the hat bearing, you effed up. :)

Yes, you want to put your bump stops on.

Top nut spinning the shaft? Grab the shaft with a gloved hand and use either a impact wrench or something to get the nut on... but just finger tight. Don't torque the top nut until you have everything assembled, installed on the car, and the car resting on the ground.

Don't crank the 3 top hat mount bolts... they will snap. Easily.

I'd be down for sure if someone is willing to help me do a turbo swap.

I got all my tools jacked out of my garage so I'm kind of at a loss. Grrrrr.
I've got to do end links and some bushings and possible some other isht while I'm up in there but that I can do on my own and I'm totally willing to get down on anyone else's car as well. Just never done a turbo before.

i'm due up for stainless lines, brake fluid, rotors, and pads. But I probably won't do that until late June.

In late June I'll probably be doing brakes as well. Hopefully I'll have some new tools by then. We should set up an install day for June.

Lord willing I'll have a new jack and at least a new craftsman set up.
