a few more suspension questions
Does anybody have a picture of how the strut mount goes back on? im talking about like which way the washers go? its been sitting so long i have forgotten. DOH! Thanks. I think ive seen a picture before. One more thing. I bought some energy suspension poly sway bar link bushings. These bushings are taller then the stock and pedders bushings. Are they gonna work? Also two of the 4 bushings have a raised end i guess for slipping into the strut. Should this one go on top or bottom? Thanks!

Ok Sarge, When i installed my links, they are alittle different as i said they are thicker. So i turned the washers the other way. It just looks right to me that way.. is that going to cause problems?

Sarge, I did check out you install and learned some things. I didnt go with pedder bushings. I went with energy suspension. There bushings are made quite different. They are thicker, and they have a lip on one to go thru the strut, so you dont need the the little sheet metal washer that holden used for that. They also came with new thick washers. Like i said, ive never been a fan of having the washers turned the way they are from factory. So am i gonna have any issues having them turned the other way? IE the bottom washer looks like the tea cup and the top looks like an umbrella instead of vice versa. It tightened down so nice and feels so sturdy.

AH BTW. Pedders is ticking me off. I ordered a strut mount bushing on friday, and now theyre talking about not being able to ship it til tomorrow(thatll be a week since i ordered) I got a car show coming up i gotta take this car to, and they are cutting my time really fine... So it's gonna take this part a week and a half or more to get to my house.
