Nick1234 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Are you supposed to be able to grab the spring and rotate it back and forth? Im not sure if my front struts are bad, but i am having issues with going every which way when i hit a bump, and noise, and steering issues.

19Cutlass94 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 The spring should move a little bit when rotating it. Is everything in the suspenion tight? are the struts leaking fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Is everything in the suspenion tight? are the struts leaking fluid? they shouldn't leak fluid externally.....mine did internally because the cartridge sits inside the tube of teh assembly.

19Cutlass94 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 The seal on the top could break, then leak fluid esternally. Its happend to me several times before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey b Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 the spring IIRC requries a decent amount of force to rotate unless you have a larger lever arm such as the tire to grab onto. Off of the car it is kinda hard to rotate and hold at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1234 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 well the "plate" under neither the spring goes back and forth as well. Can parts come loose? it rattles too. Thats what im more worried about. It rides fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
