That would be another option... :-)
I took my struts off last night and compared them to the other ones. All measurements are the same... I tossed those rear cover plates.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the right tool to remove the top nut on the strut! I left my air compressor and air tools back in Georgia when I came over here and the old "shock tool" I have is not the right size. So, I bugged all the "car guys" in my neighborhood and called the auto craft shop with no luck anywhere.
I know you're not supposed to zip the nut back on with an impact. Where can I get the right size socket set for this job? My really intelligent plan of "minimizing downtime" just went out the window. The car is on jack stands in the car port and I'm driving my wife's Suburban with 8 struts and 4 tires/wheels in the back. Hopefully I'll be able to get away from work at lunch and find some way to get the springs switched over...
