Rear Strut Replacement

[ksechler]

I'm looking for some help. Before I get flamed, I was not lazy and tried the search function. It is possible, though, that I missed something. Here goes:

I'm rebuilding my rear suspension (right now) and have illumina struts and the Tokico springs (1" lowering). Has anyone done a rear suspension rebuild thread (hopefully with photos) that I might reference. If not, I guess I will start one...

Thanks for any replies.

Then thank Blue for his "Tech Tips".

Thanks alot. That was just what I needed. With your (and Blue's) help I was able to get a large portion of the rear end torn apart. I got the old struts out, dropped the differential and removed a lot of other odds and ends. What a mess. I am taking pictures and will start a thread when I get a little more work done. Thank god I bought an impact wrench and penetrating oil!

Nice! It's definitely not a job for the faint of hear but perseverance will get it done.

Leon is right. Once you have done spindle pins your a Z veteren.

Goodluck with it
