ok, it was good

ok, it being my first strut install, it looked a bit weird but i was certain of the install according to the manual. kind of no brainer but better safe than sorry.

i put it all together and looks and drives great.

i too got exact same results as DiligentDave from a 37" from pavement to wheel well to 40"

looks good.

ill post pics later.

thanks to DiligentDave for his install instructions with pics.
