Couldnt agree more.IVIUSTANG wrote:I just did my spring seats so I can comment on this. It was my first time ever. First, like it has been stated springs can kill you blah blah blah, yes you have to compress them and lock the compressor on for safety.
That being said, it took me 30 minutes per side, the biggest slow down was the amount of turning required for the spring compressor, so much hard work. Other than the compressor bit it is a breeze for the DIY'er. A total of 6 bolts/nuts to remove to have your whole assembly out!(as one piece)

Took me about an hour, but some of that was set-up etc, and I did it on the side of the road (garage has a work in progress 360 in it...)
I used an extra spring compressor as a safety measure and a cordless drill to wind them up rather than a socket driver. I also replaced the link rods while I was in there. If you are replacing the link rod, just use an impact wrench to get the not off rather than stuffing about. Much easier.
