^ all guessing, left to right is tought as the cars tend to sag on one side. You can use a caliper to measure distance between collars or your can count threads.

Other than that, just keep adjusting.

what? Front or rear?

Do you just need to figure out which part IS the LCA?

The portion that the strut mounts to at the bottom is the LCA.

You can see here

Sorry it's not my picture.

What you're taking about sounds like a compression rod....

Look like this?

I only seen the car on a lift that why I was asking for installed pics but I'm guessing its the CR because of the way the LCA sits

Is it making a clunking sound? If so it's the Compression rod. The bushings are very well known to fail. Some guys have replaced them 5 or 6 times.

The front is only sold as a complete assembly, hub and bearing. The rear you can purchase the bearing only and hub seperately. If you purchase the bearing alone, you need to have the old one pressed off and the new one pressed back in by your mechanic.
Thanks man. I'm hoping someone can confirm that this is actually the right part before I order it. In Toronto, I'm being quoted $240 for the hub/bearing assembly. but a place like Rock Auto is selling it for half price.
