Last saturday I installed my FK coils myself first time. Yesterday I had an alignment done and I was quoted one price, but when the bill came it was $20bux more. So I disputed the charge because they said it would be $20 bux more since the car was lowered. I told them I'm not paying because I wasn't quoted for an additional charge, and it wasn't even on their price chart listed above the service desk.
So today I get a nasty phone call from the mechanic saying that I'm playing games. He proceeds to also tell me that my front struts are incorrectly installed and because I dont want to give him $20 bux he's not telling me whats wrong with them.
Now these things ride like a million bucks so I don't know what he's talking about but I'd like to know if I actually did install these correctly or if he's just talking out his butt to scare me.
I assembled the front struts like this:
1. strut
2. bump stop on strut shaft
4. spring
3. spring cap
4. strut bearing
5. nut
6. rubber strut mount
7. strut cap
8. nut.
Is this right, because I think it is and every indication from the ride tells me it is, not unusual noises, amazing ride, strut caps sit almost flush on strut tower.
Please let me know 'cause this is really bugging me and I don't want to take it to my mechanic to have it checked over.
Thanks
