Hey everyone. I'm spending today working on the rear suspension. I'm past the point where the videos end so I'm kind of flying blind. I do have all the manuals for the Cobalt so I'll be referencing that for torque specs and whatnot. My question is... how do I get the rear shocks to attach to this?
After looking at pictures on various threads I came across this picture of @ctuinstra 's build where it looks like the "cap" is taken off the top of the shock?
vs mine:
So do I just need to loosen that center bolt and remove the "cap"? Also, I assume I'll need a spring compressor to accomplish this? I've been trying to avoid that as I plasti-dipped the springs as an experiment. I'm afraid the compressor will rip the dip, but if I have to do it I have to do it.
Thanks.
