replaced struts, loose wheel, need to adjust e brake?


Recommended Posts

The rear struts that folks described to me as shocks are freakin' struts. There's a spring perch, a top hat, and you need a spring compressor. That says strut to me.

 

When I was putting everything back together, torquing my lug nuts, the rear end was still in the air, tires off the ground. The right rear wheel, when I was torquing the nuts would move, the left rear would not.

 

Does this forewarn of a potential problem or is it nothing? Is it just that the e brake cable leading to the right rear is a little looser than the one on the left?

 

I don't recall ever torquing my lugnuts with the wheels in the air before so I've never noticed if this did or did not happen.

 

Oh, and the struts are fantastic. Now I need to do the fronts!
