So I finally got around to installing Camp914s rear trunk shocks. That was easy enough.
I was told that the PO never put the rear trunk springs back on after he had the car painted (had all panels removed). And since the trunk never stayed open and I never saw the little rollers, I assumed the torsion springs were not there. My bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Now that I have the Camps shocks in - the trunk won't close all the way! The end of the torsion bar that sticks up near the hinge is hitting the ball of the shock, preventing it from going down. From the engine bay I can see 4 bolts on each side holding the long bars on. What's the easiest/quickest/safest way to remove those darn bars? I won't be needing them, so cutting/breaking them is ok. Just want to do it safe. thanks! Chris (auto_cran) |
