I'm in the process of completely replacing the front suspension on my 1963
Sprite. New A-arms, springs, king pins, bushing, etc. I've mounted the
A-arm, king pin, and swivel axle assembly on the car with the new A-arm
bushings. I now need to install the new springs. What is the safest way to
install the springs?
I had planned to place the spring into position, raise the A-arm, then
compress the spring by using a hydraulic bottle jack under the end of the
A-arm. Once compressed the trunnion would then be bolted to the end of the
lever shock. I'm worried about the spring popping lose during this process
and becoming a missle. Is this the best approach?
