I decided to take on the task of changing my stock struts cause they all were\still is in bad shape. I choose the gr-2's and the rear was so bad as i got them on but the front PITA retaining clips wasnt good enough for those stock springs. Gonna have to cough up some $$$ for some shop to do the front for me

 

 

I'm not sure of the problem you're relaying, or I'd be replying with something useful. Can you extrapolate on the issue?

 

Retaining clip?

Please clarify.

 

we cant help if you dont explain it; however, it seems this thread is more about telling a story and less about wanting advice

 

Yeah, retaining clip for the stock springs? Say what?

 

the only "retaining clip" i know of is the one that holds the brake hose to the strut

 

^^ I concur.

 

this thread = fail

 

 

I'm getting distracted with your sig....don't know which way to look

 

+1

I think he probably meant the two strut bolts... just need to spray some PB blaster and let it do its job.

 

I love your sig pic.

 

so no updates from OP?

guess it was just a thread to tell a story and complain

great reason for a thread

 

It didn't hurt no one, Jason. Give the guy some time to respond. They don't all live on here like us...

 

Thanks, it came through a truely corroborative intense effort. And Oh cr@p! I just noticed the chick on it is so skinny that her arm is see through. Or maybe the chrome door trim is just uber shiny that it shines through flesh and bones!

 

Damn that sucks mine was a breeze to switch out and saved between 250 to 400 dollars on the install!!

 

well thanks for bumping the thread to say you didnt have this problem
