I pulled my front struts out of my car cause they were bad lowering springs that werent put in right. I am wondering how do I get the stock ones back in when they are so much longer without having to pull apart my lower control arm. I seperated the spring from the bottom mount but I still dont have enough room. Do I need to go buy a spring compressor?

 

To get the rear shocks off, you NEED to remove the lower control arm bolt the goes through the shock itself AND atleast one of the other lower control arm bolts. Either the one that goes through the subframe or the one that attaches to the wheel hub assembly. Otherwise there is not enough room to pull the shock over the lower control arm. Just be careful not to break any of the bolts..

 

Well I got them out they came out pretty easy no problem. Just used some liquid wrench and an impact.
