Sounds like you're trying to put them in the wrong way, or you have late tie rod ends trying to go in early tie rod holes. > Does anyone have an extra spring for the shroud > cooling flaps or could any spring work?

Thanks > again Depressed cup on the bottom, then the washer and the spring. Lid on top. Was this ordinary steel wool, and was it showing signs of disintegrating? If so, I don't like the sound of that either. If everything is apart now could you take it to a machine shop and see if they can wash it out? > p.s. for some reason your email was blank I had to go to the site to read your reply?
