I haven't handled a stock strut in so long.... Do stock struts have the ability to adjust camber slightly? I know Coilovers usually have a little play on the bottom hole to fool w/ camber ever so slightly but I don't recall my OEM's having play.

Nice Video haha that strut doesnt always come out so easy. As for the CV axle spray all nuts and bolts as well as carrier assembly with PB blaster the night before. That will save a lot of time removing the old axle.

Between the two holes there is a tiny bit of movement. They are not slotted at all, just i little bit of slop (~.5mm each).

I actually have to replace my caxles, any decent kind I should get?

And, is the LSD axle or tranny? Can I get a LSD axle when my tranny isn't LSD?

Are these right?

I'd like to get 'new' ones, but can't find them at autozone.

No, LSD stands for Limited Slip Differential. The differential is what makes your package LSD. The LSD (differential) uses a special drivers side axle with a longer stub shaft and extra set of splines.

You do not have LSD so you need non LSD driver side axle. Passenger side is all the same. If you dont have ABS either will work, if you do have ABS you need the reluctor ring.

I'll just have someone grab one of the wheels while I rev it. xD

I was looking for an easy way to decode my vin. There are tons of websites out there that do it. But, I got a little worried. What exactly can someone do with your vin? Is it as 'secret' as your social security number?

Well I was going to replace those axles this week or next week. But seeing as how I just shattered my cv joint on Sunday, guess I have to do it tomorrow. Car's sitting 60 miles away. Of course, I'll have picks of it.
