Do I have to put the nuts on? Will it be fine without the nuts? I have a 2005 Chevy Equinox and can't see a way to get the nut on other side of frame.

I put this hitch on my 2011 Equinox without the nut. Just screwed the bolt into th frame nuts.

I agree with dgminer; you have to snap it into place. It felt like I was forcing it, and then I gave it a little more elbow grease and it snapped on. You might to rotate it slowly as you try to snap it on.

Not sure this will help, but I put mine in upside down (nuts on top). Not as clean looking, but it was easier to install and no problem with the length of the screws. I think the screw heads are too large to fit in the grooves in the headshell. Inserting the screws from the bottom worked for me as the nuts were small enough to fit in the grooves.

You need to install a rear cog of your own. The threads are there for the freewheel to be spun on.

I needed to get a breaker bar with a swivel socket end to reach the nuts on the fender, about $10 at Lowes. Other than that just some a couple of wrenches and allen wrenches. Also I would suggest putting something on the floor to catch the nuts because you will probably drop them a time or two since it's a tight fit to get them started. It was pretty easy after I got the swivel socket.

The left one for my truck was 1/3 turn off the bolts on top are not the same spacing, fought for about 2 hours before I figured that out. Hope that helps

No. That will not work. You need to be able to access the bolts to put the nuts on.

you don't have to assemble them you have to install them. you have to know how to do basic wiring on a vehicle. my son didn't have problems, but he is an auto technician. he likes them and did not have issues with installing.

You will need tools. A small cresent wrench or a good pair of pliers. I don't like using pliers they damage the nuts. So I would use the wrench

If you're asking why the nuts won't screw in completely, it's because they're LOCKNUTS. You have to hold them in place firmly using an adjustable wrench while simultaneously screwing in the bolt on the other side using the Allen Wrench.

Is your truck an extended cab? You will have to make some brackets to mount on the frame. I never put them on my truck, ended up getting rid of it. I will make you a deal of you want to buy mine.

No you don't... But I recommend that you have a front end alignment after installing kit. Good luck.

i used it on a Chevy Equinox and it did ride low. I had to shim it to keep it from dipping in the back. There is no way to do much more than that. I didn't have much weight in it at all and it still hung low in the back. I got my hitch from UHaul and the unit fit but not tight. I only used it once and was done with it. If I could have found a way to roof mount it!

You have to install the bars on a clean roof. Any dirt may damage the paint. If installed properly, you cannot over tighten the nuts since you will have a torque wrench that comes with the set. The roof surface will not get damaged by the bars in any way.

Yes these struts are compatible with your 2006 equinox and no there are not a specific strut for the left or right. I do recommend changing both out at the same time. Most likely if one is bad it won't be long until the other side will go out plus it could effect your alignment in the long run.
