RE: Installed newTo sta shocks.
Glad I'm not the only one who struggled fitting shocks! Fronts were really easy, rears did the same as Rakaric, the tab just bent and spun. After all that, the rears now have a knock when going over bumps due to poor tolerances between the eye and the bolt. Ride is good though (Edlebrocks) I wouldn't buy them again.

Looking at the pic's... Those tierod ends look like the nut is rusted on. I hope if you plan on doing them, you get the right tools.

I have a small compressor. What would be the choice for my first air tool. The ratchet, or impact wrench?

but also i think my dad got his set from MSC (dont ask what it stands for, but its a high quality harbor freight basically) and his set includes a set of US sized impact sockets an impact wrench and a impact ratchet, i would go that route if you could, i think their website is MSC.com, but ill double check and change it if its not correct

i would go w/ the impact wrench the ratchets have very little power by comparison, and most of the really hard to get to spots ud be better off using a breaker bar and ratchet to get lose so if you only want one id say the impact wrench
