Re: Suspension stories
Jack up car or lift it
pop rear tires
use block of jack to apply pressure to inner are of control arms on rear and lift a bit
Remove inner bolt and allow arm to fall about 2feet
Spring FALLS OUT of arm
Install new spring and screw spring into the lower arms support area so it is bottomed on the spring perch.
Lift arm by hand and then jack
Insert control arm bolt with the least tension to align arm and hole
You can use a screwdriver to align hole and push it forward with bolt. Handle is on forward side of bar
Tap bolt in and tighten bolt.
Confirm spring is fully down in perch, use finger to see end of coil is resting against the stop.
DOne it a dozen times, not bad, wear gloves and respect the stored energy in the spring.
Do other side and then add wheels, taaaa daaaa]
