I'm trying to drop the whole strut assembly down low enough so I can tighten the threaded ring inside the strut tower... It's completely loose.
I can't get the shock/strut assembly down low enough to have enough room to tighten it, because of the tie rod end ball joint holding things up...
So where can I separate things so that I can drop the strut assembly down just a bit lower? I've got the the cotter pin and nut off the end ball joint but it's not separating... Am I doing something wrong?
