well, today i nabbed struts and springs/rotors/calipers from an FB front subframe. Much to my surprise, the shocks were some KYB's, however the springs are unidentified.

after an hour of straining at those 2 17mm bolts (bastard things) that hold the strut to the control arm, i was finally able to drop the strut out....

i didnt think struts were supposed to do this...





in a little while i'll go out and get started taking the other strut off... fun **** right?

EDIT: i also found out that my drivers side end link for the swaybar had sheared right off at the control arm, so i'll go grab that part tomorrow from the afformentioned subframe.

 

pretty rust

 

yeah, dont you just LOVE new jersey?

 

i know here at autozone they have these endlink that are poly, and there is one that will fit out metric with a little elbow grease........................never tried it, but I did read it some where..... I saw some at the store and they were like $13 a pair.... not bad if you ask me...... thats what I would do, along with the poly sway bar bushing that fit.......... for $15 a pair... anyways



Thanks LAterz, Andrew

 

all the rx7 shocks are KYB's

 

might want to invest in duct tape.
