confusion Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I have the strut, ball joint, and tie rod end off my 92 Deville, I cant get them all to line up properly, in order to put it back together. The strut is new and now things dont seem to fit, has any one got any good tricks and hints to help so I can put it back together again. the biggest problem seems to be getting the ball joint and new strut connected.

BodybyFisher Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Have you put them side by side to check to see if they are the same? Who swapped the spring to the new strut? There is a proper alignment for the spring vs strut vs the strut mount, is that correct?
