the other week i noticed that my strut spring had slid over, like it was about to come off. i took it off and put it back on correct and now it seems as if its moving again. can anyone help me with this before my car fall over while driving down the highway. thanx a million. also when i turn i can here it. its not the drive axel. thanx guys

 

you strut assembly needs to be rebuilt. you should not be able to just take off the spring. there should be a lot of compression on the spring, and if not your spring is sagged and needs replacement. check the top spring mount and the lower spring mount, make sure nothing is bent on the mounts. then reply

 

Rebuilt?????

You need to replace the struts,springs,strut mounts,both sides..

 

the strut assembly includes: struts, springs, mounts(upper and lower). by rebuilt i mean he needs to replace the struts and re compress the springs.

 

The lower mount is part of the strut...It can't be replaced unless you replace the whole strut...

 

I thought they were cartridges... oh well.
replace

 

go ask at any parts place for a strut assembly and tell me what you get

 

i had to rent the tool from a-zone to compress the spring to take it off. checked for worn parts but everything looked ok. also when i turn i can hear noise from that same side. the struts were rpled about 3 or 4 months ago

 

my guess is that the spring did not get the ends seated in the notches and it is rotating. it may be coupled with the fact that whoever changed them threw away the plastic liners for the spring seats which will let the spring squeek and creep easier.

 

I have the lower spring mount and the top bearing. If you need it, I can give it to you for free. Just pay the shipping.

 

im me and let me know the price
