3pt1lumina Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Okay guys I have a question... There is this rubber bushing thing that sits between the trailering arm and the strut and I CANNOT get the damn thing to compress again... Are there any suggestions/tricks to getting this back together? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 use the bolt that comes in the strut kit to hold it tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 what brand of struts? monroe sensatracs, kyb, gabriel ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigEpCutlass Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'm hoping it's not the latter of those listed as you may have to do it again sooner than you should... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Guy in the bodyshop bought AC Delco struts (I'm assuming made by Gabriel) for his 90ish Regal, and he's already having problems with them being noisey. I'm totally not buying AC Delco now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3pt1lumina Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 yeah I put sensatracs on it...I have them on every one of my other cars and I love them and they've always been reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTkiwi Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 My KYB's did not come with a bolt to hold the aux spring dampner together, does anyone know what size bolt/ thread/ length I would need to hold the assembly togther? In the middle of a nightmare now. Any information appreciated. (92 Lumina Euro). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 i had no luck when i did my rear struts because the hole that the bolt is supposet to go through to keep the bushing compressed would not work. I couldnt get the bolt to thread and i went through hell to get it done. But i love my kybs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Holt old thread batman! I think I just left that part out when I re-did my rear suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 is that possible. I found it impossible to leave the bushings out when i did mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 really?! I duno I took the bottom bolt out, the one on the lateral link, and they just kinda feel off almost.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
