hi all
i am having big troubles fitting some 200b struts in my b310 sunny and its really starting to piss me off.

so if you have any ideas feel free to tell me

thanks
Ryan

what sorta troubles?

if you swap the strut tops(even though 200b ones should still bolt up) they should go straight in, pretty sure 200b springs will fit in the sunny strut towers

but if thats your problem then just cut the spring perches off the sunny struts and weld them to the 200b ones, then swap springs and all

the problem isnt up top its down the bottom
i cant get the bottom to sit over the castlated nut so i can line the bolt hole up

sure they are 200b? should be same as stanza that will fit sunny lower control arms?

other wise you might need spring compressors to get enough leeway to ease them in.

dont use my method of compression which is jamming an old broken wrench into the lca so it doesnt travel up as i use a small hydraulic jack on the base of the strut to get it to the right height and then pop it on the lca.

any help for him or did you get the problem solved? I am having the same issue with my 200b struts into my b120. can get one bolt through but not two :(

have u taken the guard off the disc ?

i jacked the lower control arm up a bit to level it all

it looks like you do need to compress the spring a bit to get it on there.
i had no such problem with my 200b struts into b120 when they were the standard length before
i had them shortened by 50 odd mm using camry shocks.

camry shocks, which ones, im interested for my 200b struts.

I've taken the spring off mine... the problem is the eye to eye distance between the two bolt holes at the bottom. they are about 80mm whereas the ones on the thing (pitman arm, is that what it's called?) that the strut sits on are about 75mm.
