I took off the struts with no problem . I need to compress the spring another 1 1/2" to screw the top nut back on . Why is this so difficult ? Tried doing the monkey dance on top of the spring for about an hour or so .
It looks like I need to rent another pair of compressor to make it work . Is there a trick to this model car ? Any websites ,pics , videos ?

Before you call me a jackass, I must state: No, I won't be trying this on a public road.

I'm new to driving in the snow, using a RWD car that lost it's TCS and ABS. The one time I took my car through heavy snow(built-up) I went at a decent pace, but could still feel the rear slipping here and there. I had to do 3 minor recoveries that day. I know about how braking, turning, and throttling too much will make the rear fly, so this question is for the rare case of hitting something on the road or having a wheel go over ice, resulting in the car going well beyond the usual recovery angle.

If there is no traffic, I should definitely just use the brakes and let the car slide sideways 'til it stops, I know. If there's traffic following behind, doing so may cause a pileup, thus, I imagine it would be safer to voluntarily make the rear slide a bit more, and doing a 360°. Out of the question if there's traffic ahead, obviously.

The question: How would I go about throttling and steering?

I was rear ended while i had on my brakes and blinker to turn. The man was doing 70, had a piece of paper saying he had insurance but found later that he didnt. He also was driving on a suspended license and did not have the baby that was in his vehicle in a car seat. Who do i talk to to get this deadbeat to do jail time before he kills someone? He never put on his brakes ! btw.. he only got tickets! Do i need to talk to the D.A?

im stuck, I've found a really good deal on a 2002 pathfinder LE with 50k miles (I think thats it, whichever the one with leather and the wood finish is) and a 2006 xterra with 40k miles on it, and I cant decide which I like more. theres all the nice features of the pathfinder or the rugged looks and better gas mileage (and bigger engine) of the xterra. if makes a difference, I'm a 20 year old guy

I was coming up to an intersection, trying to make a right turn and once i got to the intersection the light was red so i stopped for about 3 seconds and i looked around for cars and i did not see any cars, so i signaled and made a wide right turn to the left lane, and once i made the turn there was a car right behind me, the car behind me was going straight the whole way and it was his green, and as i turned and was going straight for about 2 or 3 feet he hit the divider on the left side of him because did not want to hit me, then after he had hit the divider he then hit my back left bumper with his front right bumper. Who's at fault?
