Re: Spreader tool

Mine is definitely very tight, spreader was a must.

Mine was rusted to shits. The tie rod end nut got stuck half way as I was removing it.. So need to replace that. Also rubbing like crazy. So install day 2 tomorrow. Yay..

Re: Spreader tool

my tie rods are toast too as far as adjusting goes. i was pretty much told at my last alignment that any more adjusting would be pretty unlikely and I'd be in for new ones.

I'll probably just raise the car up tomorrow and leave the tie rod for the shop to do (most likely replace it). We also (Jonathan aka Gheron dropped by, Thanks buddy) also made several trips looking for the exact hex tool to tighten the top strut but to no avail. What size is that thing? Mine seemed like an odd sized tool.. I bought the typical hex set and none worked. Anyway its a pretty exhausting job.

Thats odd.. it wasn't anything too weird. Should have taken mine along to try. oh well.

Car looks awesome right now but can't really enjoy it since its already darked when we finished. Gonna make another trip to Canadian tire to return the tools that didnt work and get ones that do.
