Front Coil Spring Installation

[DROLDS84]

Ahh you fooked it up might as well get new ones now!

I always **** up...lol

Are they in yet? How's it sit?

Hopefully putting them in today time permitting.Won't know how it sits until I get the body back on.New set up will be considerably lighter which is why I wanted to cut some of the spring off...cut off a 1/4 coil of the bottom off.Should be good.

Got them on...went in smoothly they compressed easily.Was able to jack the bottom a-arm up about an inch and put the ball joint nuts on

I’m from Montreal Quebec ! Shipping would not be that extreme. Want to buy one but this is almost a single use tool ... wondering if I should just rent one.

Got the springs in and put the front rotors on today...had to leave the bearing races out to fit in the seal in the back of the rotors...washer covered up the cotter pin hole and had to put the cotter pin bolt on backwards to get the cotter pin in only way it would bolt up...anyone else had this experience?

Sorry cotter pin nut

You better go check what you did wrong before you kill yourself or someone else!!

Yeah...having someone come over after work today...its fully seated and its like the spindle is short or the rotors are to wide on the center...the rotors are new the spindles came on the car.

You MUST use a race in the rotor.

Most rotors come with the race already installed.

Then the bearing comes with one as well.

Are you sure you received the correct rotors?
