Actually, you have it backwards. You preloaded the endlinks by tightening it while the car was up in the air.

What you're attempting to do is tighten it up when it's on the ground so that it's not preloaded which is the proper way.

struts = shocks and springs.

old term i'm assuming by the way he used it in the sentence...

if he meant strut bar he should save gas and use the DIY

Anyone have experience in cleaning SSV?

Don't have CEL on me, just a bit worry since I have a 05 with 50k+miles on it.
Installing oil catch can soon tho.
