strut tower replacement 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be bricktech on  Mon Mar 18 06:13 CST 2002 [RELATED]

not too dificult,one short cut,slice open the eyelets that hold the brakelines to the tower,then bend them back into shape when your done,this will keep you from having to open the brake lines.caution!!!!!!mix mathing your strut cartridges can cause dangerous handeling.you should install your original cartridge into the new tower,or better yet replace both cartridges w/new.you will need a spring compresser.if the only thing wrong with the old tower is the spring seat rusting out,you can pick up a new springseat for about $20.00 this will require disassembly and minor welding, quite simple though.
