• Strut and Spring Installation Write Up
I thought that since my Dad and I rebuilt a transmission that I would add something to this forum since I have only been here about 6 months and posted already close to 700. I decided that I would do a write up on how to install springs and struts for the probe. I performed this installation on a 94 Probe Base with no ABS. The springs that I used were the Eibach Pro Kit. The struts were the Tokico Blues. Also I installed a Rear Strut Tower Bar. This installation was fairly easy and only took me and a friend about 4 hours. Would have been less but the was one bolt that was not cooperating. I guess I will just start at the top.
• Tools Needed
1. 14mm socket wrench
2. Impact Wrench
3. 17mm socket and 17mm box end wrench
4. 19 mm socket
5. Floor jack or regular car jack
6. Jack stands
7. WD 40
8. Screw driver
9. Spring Compressor
10. Box knife and Hobby Knife
