I mean theres no space for an impact wrench to fit.
The workspace is nearly non-existent....

Re: AE86 Shocks & Springs etc Install HELP!

Un-equal length rear trailing arms is what I meant. Unless you have equal length boxes welded in for the top arms, running rose jointed rear trailing arms is a really bad idea. The rear will just bind and snap oversteer, and stretches and tears the trailing arm mounts off the chassis. did u mean th...

Re: AE86 Shocks & Springs etc Install HELP!

A couple more things. Remove the pinion snubber. That's the bumpstop that bolts to the body directly above the rearend input flange. If you have trouble pulling the inserts out of the dront struts, use a small screwdriver to push the black seals down into the oil and the inserts will slide right ou...

Re: AE86 Shocks & Springs etc Install HELP!

Re: AE86 Shocks & Springs etc Install HELP!

The rear stuff is a breeze, you can do that drunk. The front isn't so hard, especially since you have an impact gun. The strut nut that's inside of the upper mount can be a pain if you don't have an impact. It's super helpful if you have a bench vise to hold stuff down. The gland nuts that hold the...
