Hello Everyone!
My name is Gabriel my "first car" is a blue 82 fiat 124 2000
I say first car since my real first car a 1976 x19 never really ran,
my spider has had some mechanical issues over the years and has spent the last 5 1/2 years sitting.
well it time to get her going again!!
I recently got a junkyard differential as the original was broken while I was at it I purchased
Koni struts and IAP springs, according to the shop manual you need to torque everything down there while the car
is supported by the tires, how do you do that as the car is now much lower? I don't have access to a lift.
also what happens if you do torque them while the car is on jack stands?
Thanks Gabriel
