I need a little help with the installation of front struts on a 1988 Starion http://userpages.umbc.edu/~mbowma1/oldNut.jpg   This is the strut assembly.  The "canister" is the big tube, the "big nut" is the big nut on the top of the canister and the gas shock is ... the gas shock.  "The original "big nut" has a ruber ring that holds the rod in and makes it so the rod doesnt rub.   http://userpages.umbc.edu/~mbowma1/looseMov.gif   The strut's rod is loose in the canister and rubs the metal

That'd be cool :-)

I need you guys to make something that zaps me off of here when Ive been on to long. I love the sit so much I have no time to work on my car!! lol

Here is a VERY good post by Chiplee. Thank you for your input Chip.   I will add this:   A dyno run that does not cross HP and TQ at 5252 it is not an accurate display of power output.

Â Believe me I'm not smart enough to figure all this out but
