*****ing about struts on the 89 trofieo thread

GM, I hate you

why do you have to make life difficult?

Dead sturts at 17 years old, with 145k miles on it, WTF, they're supposed to last forever, didnt u know that?





Right now it's sitting with the ass on ramps, and jackstands under the (sub) frame...

the springs scare the hell outta me BTW
bought struts ($120)... needed to rent a strut compresser ($60) and then found out I needed a 2 jaw puller ($40)

GOD DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be getting my $100 back in a few days, but dang, that's a week and a halfs pay


anybody got tips on doing struts on a FWD car, that my hayes maunal will forget to tell me?

tks alot
~Nate
