960 3ltr 1994 rear coil spring replacement

Post by father ted »

Haveing aquired new rear coil springs for my multilink suspension fitted 960 i am now wondering if there are any pitfalls to look out for during fitting. Can i lift the whole back end up and fit them both together or one side at a time. I am aware of the brake pipes restricting movement but is there anything else i should be aware of. Any help is appreciated.

The attached should help. You can do both sides together but note the part about disconnecting the drive shaft.
