I forgot to mention you only need to replace the end link with the torn boot. The other one that is fine can be reinstalled

Do yourself a favor and ditch the Park Tools kinder garden set and buy some Wera tools. I was a bicycle mechanic for many years as well as custom fabrication and while Park Tools aren't shit, they still boast a primitive design and somewhat mild steel (that is more than enough for bike shop use). Most of Park Tools steel is made by Bondhus, but even Bondhus isn't as good as Wera when it comes to hexagonal keys and drive-type tools. The Wera Hex-Plus design would have most likely not stripped the head at first. I've had a lot of fastener head starting to strip or even strip using a regular hex design key and when it does, I stop right away and get my Wera. Plus they aren't crazy expensive, less than $50 online for the set. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009ODV0OE..._iCtVyb2531FXC Also check out Knipex pliers if you don't know them already, especially their Raptor, Cobra and Plier Wrench models, which are very useful mechanic tools and proven design. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EXOM20..._JFtVybF1449W3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X4J2H0..._pGtVybEQB8QZ0 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X4OG94..._6GtVybBFA46V0 Glad you got it to work !

I will make sure to tighten enough. Did you just replace struts,lowering springs and struts?? I did new struts(KYB) and 1.5 lowering springs.Decided on 205/50/R16 and really liking the look and feel.45 were originally on the rims and ride was too harsh and still too much gappage. |

Yeah and apparently I didnt get the pass side link tight again after all this! arghh
I've got a clank/rattle on all small bumps/tar strips. Yes, everything else is tight. And it also goes away on either right or left turns....only when going straight I hope I can tighten it, but as you say, for the cost of it. if I have to replace it the only real pain will be cutting the bolts off the top mount. |

I did springs only. Bought a brand new set of Tanabe df210's from a member here for 100 shipped! Hard to pass up. I'll post a pic soon.

45 was too harsh of a ride. Do you notice how it corners nicer know? |

Yes!! Much flatter and stable. Great investment. It is a slightly firmer ride, but my wife didn't even notice.
