[Spridgets] Suspension bushes - little arm thing too long?!

[Brad Fornal]

Front spring? Place that side of the car on a jack stand, put the spring in
place, and put a floor jack under the A arm. Jack up the A arm until things
are in place. It is important to have the engine in place, as you will need
the weight to compress the spring.
