Default front struts

gotta love a car with 100k on the clock, pretty much original.

have tires R&R'ed, now front end is riding low.

seems lifting it up and letting the front end droop let the little bit of gas that was still in the old struts escape.

now I gotta put new struts in that have some pressure in em. no way to redneck it.

Default RE: front struts

got R dun today.

mixed the left up with the right by accident, got 1st one in car and found out the brake line wouldn't attach.

had em mixed up.

no biggee, switched em to the right positions and got er right.

car actually rides better. imagine that.

since i got this little POS I thought the rough choppy ride was because of the short wheelbase.

Struts make a difference. LOL.

I have found that a wider patch of rubber, instead of those huffy tires they call 13's, makes a considerable difference in ride quality and handling.
