Yes, the strut and spring come out as one piece....Only try compressing the spring when it it out of the car.

Could be...humm, a v6 spring is trying to lift/hold up a v6 engine....so my theory, just that, is if the spring has the car "further" up at the top then that would pull the tire...didn't know there was a v6 spring/strut on that side.......

Only just found this out myself, when I was inspecting my subframe.

What is camber measurement? +1, 5, 10 degrees?

A large error will likely require body work to change frame attach positions.

good luck

i unfortunately lost the alignment results, but i think i remember it being around 3.25-4.25+ camber.

however i went to my local pick n pull and found both front shocks and springs with forks on a automatic 95 accord ex 4 cyl.

they are also KYB GR-2 shocks as well, so double win.

they seem to be is good condition. one of them has some grease on the bottom, not sure if it was from something else or from the strut.

i will take pictures soon.

I notice the top is kind of angled. Will this be a problem?

Update!! Yeah the strut and wishbone were the wrong part. Check out the differences for yourself!





The whole assembly is 1" longer and the wishbone/fork is not angled the same.

About dang time I fixed it. I have literally replaced every part on my front suspension.
