Help Me! Car won't move after spring install!

[92wH22]

So I finally installed my Nuespeed Sports today in the front. After I put everything together, I was backing out of the driveway and before the wheels did one complete turn, the car stops moving. If felt as if I had left something behind a wheel or something. I get out to check, and there's nothing. I try backing out again, and it won't go! Obviously, there's something interferring somewhere. I was already dark, so I didn't have a chance to take everything apart again. IF anyone has experienced this before or has any ideas, please let me know before I go back out tomorrow morning and end up beating the crap out of the car...

thanks

no idea whats wrong...

but did you follow the steps listed here?

Even though it is dark, I am very sure the concept of a flashlight and a jack had to have gone through your head.

The least you could get is a pic... is the car resting on the wheels? maybe you forgot to install the springs. Does it drive forward?

[92wH22]

Uh, I didn't forget to install the springs. That was pretty much the point of all the work I was doing. And as far as the concept of a jack and a flashlight going through my head, after working on the fucken car for 3 hours in the rain and on an empty stomach, I really didn't give a shit to check it. I have all day tomorrow and only asked on here to see if anyone else ran into this problem. Thanks though...

check the A arm that goes from the bottom of the shocks to the control arm. maybe you didnt tighten it? but best thing to do redo it to make sure you put everything back right and everything is tightened.

i never had this problem but i am a krzy suspension head. but good luck!

Did you accidentally pull an axle out of the transmission?

x2. OR pull the shaft out of the "socket" deal it stiks into. That would suck. Sounds like your problem is axel related though.

So I had a chance to go out there today and see what the hell was wrong, and out of all things, one of the damn lugs came off, and fell into the back of the rotor! I tried bending the hell out of the backing plate, but there's not enough room to get it out. So looks like the rotor will need to come off.

Can anyone who has successfully replaced their brakes at home tell me how the hell you did it WITHOUT air tools?

Hondas truly hate me...

How does a lug fall out and stick behind the rotor........ I'm not even mad. That's impressive.
