justinwebb Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 yes free food like pizza or something and your choice of beer and ill give you some gas money or whatever for helping lol. Need my car raised up and coilovers are being a bitch and the perches are stuck and i dont have many tools but i have a garage. If i cant get the coilvers raised then i need some help taking the passenger side out completely as there is a bolt stuck. Trying to avoid taking off the front lower control arm but i might have to and dont have the tools to do that. I am free all the time and am located on campus. I just really need a working car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinwebb Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 yea i have the coilovers on there now just cant get them to raise the car up as the perches seem to be stuck. So I ordered new coilovers as those are trash anyways and cant get the damn strut out of the passenger side. The bottom 17mm through bolt with the nut is stuck in there and cant get it to come out at all. I just have limited tools and hope it isnt seized up in the bushing.

boosted98gst Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 If you bought some janky coilovers with the alum perches that bind up and weld themself shut , your best bet is to just cut off one of the perches . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 to much heat and you melt the bushing.. to much bfh and heat beats the end of the bolt up so? the bushing is already fucked, light it up and watch the bitch burn, replace with new. And use a punch or similar, like another bolt on the bolt with a bfh mustang lower control arms have these problems, PITA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
