Ok ive got a Stupid Question...(and im sure it wont be the only one) Just took my front struts out today, and noticed something in the process... The Right Strut is off-centered towards the Engine and the extra hole in the tower and the strut match up...The Left Strut is off-centered in a different direction, obviously meaning the extra holes dont match up... Stupid Question is - When i put it back together, do i put the Left Strut back how it was before, or how it should be with the holes matching up? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Give me your washer bottle!!!!!!!!

haha was going to say the same thing lol

Quote: Stupid Question is - When i put it back together, do i put the Left Strut back how it was before, or how it should be with the holes matching up? Put it back exactly how it was, It is always a good idea to mark the strut top in relation to the tower, rotating these will stuff up your camber/caster angles.

Agreed... but shouldn't both be the same way? I would be inclinded to talk to a suspension shop - it could be out of alignment the way it is. If it was me i would put them both back as the workshop manual says and get a new alignment! If they need moving a good alignment palce will rotate them to where they should be. Cheers, J

No, because they have more than likely been adjusted in the past. Early commodores are known for their generous tolerances. If you are doing a lowering job, i reccomend a wheel-alignment anyway.

If you are doing a lowering job, i reccomend a wheel-alignment anyway. Correct they could & probably have been adjusted in the past, but I have been told on a few occasions that one side should be a mirror image of the other. I'm not saying the factory positions are where they should be - i was just saying if they are in different positions and if he is changing his suspension then he could put them in the factory positions and then get the alignment place to correct it if need be. If they are in different positions to each other and have been aligned in this way it is possible that it has been done because something in the setup is bent, twisted, broken or faulty. I'm done want to get into a massive argument i am just passing on knowledge that has been passed on to me about various issues. What i have been told does make sense though. Well it does to me anyways... Quote: Originally Posted by Irontusk Oh and alot of wheel alignment places can't do wheel alignments on lowered cars. Wairau Suspension (Also known as Wairau Alignment) should be able to. They are on Currys Lane, which is off Wairau Road. They have done a few for me and they were a lot better than some of the normal tyre shops: Bridgestone, Frank Allen, beaurepairs etc etc. They aren't cheap - but you pay for what you get. Having said that i don't think it's much more than the other places mentioned above. Just ring them and talk to them - (09) 444-4994. I usually deal with Merv, he has had a lot of experience.
