Guess I shoulda looked at the box first!
If you wanna make the trip, I will help you. I was just in your neck o' the woods in July, my daughter has a friend who lives in Lancaster. Took about 3.5 hours. My house in Monroeville is only a few minutes from the 'pike exit.

endlinks suck! i failed miserably last time i tried to put the springs/struts on. of course this was after flexing for 30-45 minutes trying to break the lugs of off one wheel. i didn't have anything left in me by the time i got to the endlink. They've been sitting in my closet since April.

ha my end links in the back were so rusted that even the impac couldnt get the job done...the only thing that eventually worked was having two 200+ pound guys (me and my friend) yanking in opposite directions and a gallon of WD40
Phil, is you crazy? Maybe it was easier on yours, but remember how big a bitch those end links are when we did my car? Had Matt and me both hanging off of them WHILE using the impact. That **** was ridiculous.
