Ugh so got my car back from alignment and camber adjustment and the guy said the pass rear center strut bolt is not all the way down so there is a gap between the strut mount and the top washer.. and I tried to tighten it down but I think it might be cross threaded or something cause I can't get it tightened with just an air ratchet... i might have to take the damn thing off to hit it with my impact.. which will then make me have to go get another alignment/camber adjustment for that wheel!!
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread- BAGS BUILD PAGE 9!!

Talk to the shop, maybe they will re adjust it for free if you do it within a day or 2. Depends how cool they are tho.
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread- BAGS BUILD PAGE 9!!

Ya I will prob take it up there to see if they can get it tightened down.. i hope it's not cross threaded the left side went down no problem but I had trouble with this side :(
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread- AIR BAGS BUILD DONE!! -- STARTS ON PAGE 9!!

I have the same problem.

If I try to tighten them the shaft of the strut just spins.
 


Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread- AIR BAGS BUILD DONE!! -- STARTS ON PAGE 9!!

Can you hear them slam sometime going over bumps? The pass rear is the only one doing it cause I can spin that top washer lol its not even touching the rubber nubs of the strut mount

Did you hit them with an impact or try to tighten them down with hand tools?
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread- AIR BAGS BUILD DONE!! -- STARTS ON PAGE 9!!

I only tried hand tools.

I can't get an impact wrench on there unless I drop the strut.
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread- AIR BAGS BUILD DONE!! -- STARTS ON PAGE 9!!

Yep same problem i just ran into.. i thought they were down all the way but i guess once the car put all of its weight on the strut it wasnt down all the way lol
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread- AIR BAGS BUILD DONE!! -- STARTS ON PAGE 9!!

i can't afford them either. that's why i'm switching to 5 lug so i can get cheaper wheels, hah.

impact will solve that, but like you said you have to take it apart.

You need a t45 torx bit and 13/16th wrench...you hold the torx bit while you crank the wrench to keep the strut shaft f from spinning
 


Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread- AIR BAGS BUILD DONE!! -- STARTS ON PAGE 9!!

For a normal strut yes but the air bag struts don't have a torx on top it's more of a square top... it actually reminds me of those cheap floor jack release valves you turn to lower the jack haha the top looks like that

.. but the problem is there is a cylinder welded to a nut (see page 9 of my build for the nut) that you thread onto the shaft and you can't get anything down inside to hold that square top
