UCA Install, What do you guys use for an impact wrench?

[Tbone]

You said you haven't done the front springs yet? If lowering, look at the strut mounts when you take them off, they'll have an arrow. When installing flip them so arrows pointing the opposite way. A lot of people do that and its much easier to align. Mine were within specs when I did that, 2 sets of tires now, no abnormal wear. Best to get new gt500 mounts anyways. Reinstalling old ones have been clunky for a lot of people.

Even new ones clunk when flipped? My car only has 5k miles on it

Yes. The factory strut mounts are one time use.

Did you use camber bolts as well when you did it? I may not need to flip since I have the BMR bolts is why I ask

 

[Grabber Blue 5.0]

You probably won't need the camber bolts if you install the strut mounts with the arrows pointing in towards the engine bay.

I used the Steeda HD strut mounts. I don't trust camber bolts and the factory GT500 mounts left no adjustability for me.

Just get CC plates and be done. This thread is full of so much win!

I bought my Ingersoll IR-231 used off the Snap-On truck after a professional mechanic traded it in so it had seen HEAVY use before I got it. I've owned it for almost 30 years now and the thing still rocks.

Ingersoll Rand battery impact. Amazon has them for $350 with battery, charger and case shipped. 700 forward and 1100 reverse torque. An amazing tool and priced so much better than snap on or Matco with more power.

Don't forget, that's almost 30 years that I've owned it.

It was used when I bought it.

Now I know why Steve is so patient with the online parts orders, he must be over 70 years old.
