How do you change out coil springs?

Answer by  crabfoot (253)

You will need two good jacks, wrenches, a crowbar, and spring compressors (rent from tool hirer). Jack up the vehicle, remove wheel, jack up the hub, compress the spring, disconnect the shocker, prise out the spring. Put the compressors on the new spring and reverse the process to fit it.

Rent a spring compressor from an auto parts store. Wrap heavy safety chain through the spring and around the car chassis and secure it, then put the compressor on the spring and crank it down. Now take off the lower A-arm; the spring will drop out. Reverse installs new spring.

You will need to remove the panel liners inside both sides of the trunk. This will give you access to the top nut of each rear strut. You will need to remove the existing struts to place the new coil springs over the struts.
