Strut & Spring Pre-Assembly
Hello,
I'm looking to pre-assemble these components off the car in advance of installation since I'm replacing everything. After buying the spring compressor it just occurred to me that I'll need the top nut to tighten down the new GT500 mount I purchased, correct? Anyone know the part #? I'm hoping I can pick one up from the Ford Stealership this weekend.

When I bought my Steeda HD camber strut plates, it came with new strut nut, since I needed the rubber isolator from the stock strut mount I couldn't have it pre-assembled. I'm surprised the new GT500 strut mounts don't come with the required strut nut.

I used a battery powered impact gun to compress those springs. Makes it go real fast. Doing that with just a ratchet takes forever. I really cant remember if my GT500 strut mounts came with new nuts. I want to say no.

I love mine too, I just wish my compressor wasn't so damned loud lol. I'm hoping to get it on at the end of the month. I have a co-worker coming by to help me get my rear on and I'm hoping to get my suspension stuff done too. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is adjusting and installing the new UCA.
