Question on strut / camber plate install


#1

I just put in my Ireland adjustable camber plates. What is the best method for mounting the upper shock nut on the shaft. I Bilsteins have 17mm nut with a hex head on the shaft. Problem is no way to get anything on the shaft head with a socket/wrench on the nut. I tighten it a bit with the impact wrench but only on very low setting as I have heard it’s real easy to overtighten and tear up the shock.

Any words of wisdom. Hate for this thing to come apart at VIR this weekend.

thanks,

Keith

I’ve seen air tools used so many times on that top nut, I can hardly imagine doing without 'em.
