The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) V

Yes, needs to be redone, but without knowing the orientation, chances are you might run into the same problem. If this is your stock strut, you can probably use your impact to loosen the piston nut if you have a spring compressor.

Just hold the strut snug. Double check on impact use. Stock dampers are usually ok
Coilovers are nono for impact use.

I used impact on my fit's strut when I did its swifts last yr

Adjustable dampers break when you impact their shafts.

What are the odds that you would get hit by an old Nissan Hardbody?
