I recently had a shade-tree mechanic replace the rear struts on my 2001 outback wagon. The passenger strut is not look correctly assembled/installed. The spring is off the lower strut mount and sitting crooked. Is there a way I can get it to line up by jacking the control arm up and retorquing the top bolts or does the whole strut need to come out, spring compressed and repositioned?
I dont have a spring compressor. If it needs to come out I can have him fix his work, but its a bit of a trek to the shop so I wouldnt mind trying myself. Thanks so much.
