Re: Rear suspension woes...

   Did you remove the nut at the top of the strut cartridge before removing
the assembly from the car? Are you using the axle beam as a jacking point
for the rear of the car? If yes to either question, try again with the nut
in place and the jack positioned under the recommended jacking points....in
front of the rear wheels. You will probably have to drop both rear struts at
the same time to allow the axle to fall enough for removal clearance.

No problems at all!..Now for the rears...Read through the bentley...rears
are even easier right! WRONG! Nothing but problems!

from under the wheel well! Has anybody else had problems experience with
this? The struts on the back are not stock KNY(I think,)...I tried to use a
jack on the bottom part of the strut to compress it but there is not way to
keep it compressed...let the jack down and the strut expands back to full
size, simple physics right?! Anyhow anybody have any ideas? I'm stuck! Is it
because the struts are gas that I'm having these problems with it not
staying compressed as the manual shows?? HELP!
