We put the strut shaft nuts on with an impact (that's the best way to so it as the shaft spins). Good-n-tight works everytime!

Loved the pics and step by step I installed mine today in about three hours and love it. Only thing I want to add is the two bolts running through the spindle and strut can be driven out with a air chisel if you own one. Worked great for mine--out in two seconds--and didn't mess up any threads by leaving the nut down at the end of the bolt!

Does someone have the SoCal alignment spec chart? I remember seeing it, but now that SoCal is gone, I'd like to get a copy.
Thanks.

Wrong thread I know, not trying to start gossip, but I apparently joined to late to know SoCAl, where did he go? Wasn't he a vendor at one point? If he apparently knew so much about the HHR why is he gone?

Wouldn't it be easier to raise the front a bit? Then you would not have to worry about the bottom out as well
