What's too big?

Yes, whats too big?

How this is meant to allign up with the bolt spacing i will never know!?!? It is too big

You need both front wheels off the ground then push down on the wish bone using pry bar or braker bar then put screw driver through one of the strut holes then you can wiggle it around to line up the hub for the other bolt.

How did you guess....

I never post on it, but this weekend thought it might help with quick responses. Typical of some people to act like that, but its life and you will always get it.

The "silly posts" weren't far away mate, lol. Glad you got it sorted though. Just out of interest did the rear springs go in without a fight?

Yea mate, i dropped the axle all the way down. Actually had to hold the springs in place while jacking the axle back up as there was that much of a gap they were falling back out.

@bloke is there a torque setting for the top mount nuts? In all the threads about it I've never seen any mention of how tight they need to be.

 

[bloke]

the thin nut or the top mount cap?

 

[Clio_fool]

Top mount.

 

[flebay]

Top mount.
