Lots of options: eBay Germany , fabricate one, hire Daveliz99 to fabricate one, beg Daveliz99 to donate one to the MVS loan a tool program.

The loaner program would be a great idea!

I had to make mine, and it’s makeshift, but it worked. I’m not familiar with the loaner thing here. What’s that?

In my case, I had some scrap laying around that looked like the right length already, so I just welded a bolt onto each end so it could grab.

I’ll try to get some pictures and dimensions up here when I get home.

Thanks much, but I was able to order online in Germany. Part and shipping was less then any vendor in the US.
Www.Acietagoods.xyz €14+9.90 shipping

When done with replacing for all cars I will look into making it available for the tool loaner program.

Don’t bother ordering at this website.
Haven’t received the part and website is down.
Ordered at Tasca parts.
Never mind order got cancelled.

I just put my rear springs in with hands, floor jack to compress, and a screwdriver. What did I do wrong?
