Ok, so actually this is my fault, I put new shocks and springs on, turns out I didn’t tighten the bolt on the front passenger side shock all the way down, I had bartered for time in this guy’s shop, but now I don’t have any, is there anyone who has a shop and a spring compressor who would be willing to do this with me? I could pay a little, but getting them in and out is a 2 man job. ---

From just installing springs in my garage yesterday, supposedly you could’ve done it by yourself, but it helped alot having a second set of hands. Good luck. ---

Ya, I had two people when we put them in originally and it still is fairly frustrating, but I would like to get this done soon, and no one is really available at the same time I am. ---

4th gens don’t have struts, they have shocks, but its still called a strut mount, its all goofed up, so I figure I can say whichever one I want and people will understand. ---
