did i get the right parts? did search!
Thursday, October 19, 2006 8:37 AM
ok i just got back from advance auto to pick up front strut mounts for a 2000+ cavi for my brothers 98 cavalier to put on his tein basics

well opened them up when i got home and theres only two pieces in the box? a piece that appears to be a spring isolator and then the top blate but i dont see any bearings or anything? just curios if these are right.

the brand is monroe; strut mate mounting kit. part# 904919

also i installed the rear on stock shock mounts and the one side sits half a inch lower then other side with them set all the way down anyone have any ideas on them?

Sounds right. 2000+ doesn't have a separate bearing, it's all in one.
That's the reason we genearlly prefer the 95-99 style, where you can replace the $20 bearing if needed without replacing the whole $100 mount (or whatever it costs, I"m just making up numbers).

On my TEIN Super Streets I have to drop on of the rears a 1/4" more to get it to sit level. Half inch seems like there could be an installation error. Make sure you didn't measure the diff with the parking brake on or crooked sway bar.

ok well i got everything done and everything back together but now need some suggestions please.




this is the front wheel gap with 18" rims and coils set all the way down.


this is the rear same way.

what i need suggestions opinions on is to either raise it or not or just roll the fenders took it around the block turned the wheel and already scraped the one wheel up pretty good and cant have that any more!

Yup, I can see them.

The drop looks really good.

You need to clean the area where the side moulding was.

I really like those rims. They look great with the drop!
