I need immediate help for any DYI spring replacment guru's
 

I just installed my Eibach lowering springs and everything was going fine until the last spring. I put it all back together and the last thing was putting the endlink back on. Well it seems like it is way too long now and there is no way I can get it back on the sway bar. It's almost like the whole shock is too long and needs be be compressed in order to get that damn endlink on. I got the strut back into the knuckle joint okay, but the endlink is no where near going in. Please Help!!:mad:

take the shock and spring off completely get a spring compressor to compress both spring and the shock enough to get it back in the knuckle and get the end link on and then just slowly take the compressor off .hope this helps

i thought that might be the problem. I don't have a spring compressor...is there any other way or can I buy one or take it to midas and have them compress it?? Thanks for the quick reply

Put the car back on the ground, turn the wheel, and put it on.

i did try to put the wheel on and then put the endlink back on but it was still a couple inches too long. I didn't try turing the wheel though..will this for sure work, cuz I just called a friend who is looking for a spring compressor.

I have never had a problem with this, are you sure you installed everything correctly?

Sounds like something is improperly installed. If its that long, it will probably bind up the whole suspension once you do get it back on.
