Installing new struts/shocks/springs...looking for DIY instructions

[Yarflana]

Thanks guys.

Concerning the allen wrench, I was looking at the top area today and noted that the allen wrench short side will have to be a bit stubby to get in that space, but I will figure it out.

I shouldn't need an impact wrench...the car is 4 years old, but with some liquid wrench and my 1/2" drive breaker bar, I should be fine.

I found that the offset wrench for the top nut doesn't have to have a very larger offset and 10 degrees is enough and usually what is provided on most combination (open/closed end) wrenches. I hate using 12 point wrenchs because rounding off crucial nuts is always a chance. I have all 6 point sockets for my socket-wrenches so that is okay.

I was advised to cut the bump stop a little, even though I shouldn't need to for only a 1" drop. I may cut it anyways...just the bottom notch of the 2.
