        Step 1: Install Nut (Torque to a gazillion ft/lbs)

        Step 2: Place washer "over" nut aligning tabs

        Step 3: Beat repeatedly until fully seated

        DUN.

          ^ agreed. To end this all, my compact rear wheel bearings were original and the locking plate was smashed on over the nut=)

                  It's okay sir. I shall now retire my shovel for further axle nut discussions.

                  Seriously, whoever doesn't have Mr. Kaiser on snapchat is/was missing out. His series of "tech tips" was causing me to have uncontrollable laughter last night.

                                Subframe needed some persuasion

                                  Tomorrow I'll be taking the rear most subframe bolts out again so I can get the ST sway bar on. Also going to try and get the control arms on

                                    Sway bar is mounted and torqued

                                    9df976faa93e53d721499e1cca9ad32c.jpg

                                    Got the control arm offset bushings on (pain in the ass because of the taper)

                                    e388fb4ee4ab5f96a231ef315868bf00.jpg

                                    I'll most likely pop those in tomorrow. After they are in I'll be dropping the engine back onto the subframe so I can get the support bar out of the way. Then it'll be on to the rear subframe

                                    For anyone who was curious about the ST sway bar hardware here's a picture. Way beefier Than the oem stuff. Washer has a gap due to this shit being 28 years old

                                    e93acea0ce36ee65df5230865f2f8922.jpg

                                    Also does anyone have any use for these rear trailing arm sway bar mount reinforcements (and bushing brackets)?? I already had these reinforcements.

                                          are you going to do 6 or more track days every year? adjustable coilovers.

                                          if not, just pick a tried and true setup and roll with it.  I'd say Koni/IE3 or Koni/H&R is failproof.
