Ok, so I have searched this whole section for this question of mine and I can't find a good answer to I'm going to ask it directly. I just installed my tein s techs yesterday and I put the car back on the ground and was wondering if I could tighten the top nut up while the springs are under the load of the car while it is on the ground.

The problem I ran into though is that I tried to use a deep well socket and torque it down, but that just moves both the nut and the stud that the nut must go further down on all together.

So how do I go about this, because I have limited space under the engine bay because they don't give you a huge hole to get to that nut.
?????? PLZ HELP

Also it's not like my suspension is making any noises either I just want it to be tight just in case.

 

the shaft has a flat spot to put a wrench..so use a gooseneck wrench to hold the nut and a wrench to hold that shaft and tighten it up.

also, if you have access to a pneumatic impact, it will make short work of it.

 

just to confirm, your talking about the nut on the shock shaft, right? or are you talking about the 3 studs that bolt to the car?

 

Yes I'm talking a about the main nut in the middle.

 

cool, than post #2 is what you need to do.

 

Ok thank you I will give it a try
