Im installing coilovers, rears went in fine but im having an issue on the front passenger side. Please look at the pictures. All necessary bolts have been removed (2 upper A-arm bolts and the lower one). But it seems like theres a lot of tension pushing down on the buttom of the strut so its stuck on the RCA. The whole front end is up on jacks....Any advice?

push down harder on the rca area. i think the sway bar is giving you the unwanted tension.

Hmm would standing on the brake rotor help?

toniotran

that should work.

Just tried that. That thing won't budge.

Undo the swaybar endlink.

we did that too not too long ago. you really have to stand on the rotors preferably a large guy do it. its pretty tough but we did it.

Bingo.....

Disconnect the swaybar from the LCA

Yep everyone was right, unbolted the sway bar link, pushed down and wiggled it out. Didn't have to do this with the OEM parts.

Thanks!
