The spring gets fitted into the top, then kick it in place into the a-frame, and Bob's your uncle. Not only will you see it happen, you'll make it; /html/spridgets/2003-05/msg00629.html (7,710 bytes)

5. RE: Coil spring reinstall (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 21 May 2003 09:51:46 -0500; I keep hearing about this "long bolt" technique and just don't quite understand. If you can trust your floor jack to raise a car that has 4 springs, why not trust the same jack to raise an a-arm that; /html/spridgets/2003-05/msg00859.html (8,113 bytes)

My springs are stiff enough that the car raises instead of the spring compressing when using the "jack" method. Of course, you could always chain the fr; /html/spridgets/2003-05/msg00860.html (8,847 bytes)
