So a lot of people have questions or don't know how to swap springs in old cars. This is a way you can do it in one night. I do use a lift but I've also done this in my driveway with a jack and a jackstand . Please keep in mind this can be dangerous and should only be attempted if you have some idea of what you are doing.
I would highly recommend have someone else there to help you.

I used to do it the same way you're doing it. Until I learned it from a seasoned mechanic, And that was having the car on the lift. Next place a tall jack stand under the rear of the control arm. Slowly lower car onto stand and carefully remove rear control arm bolts and carefully raise car and remove spring.Much better than using a hammer and pry for front removal.

I will have to try this next time. I have had a few people tell me this but have not tried it yet.

To hold the rubber in place I use some zip ties or electrical tape to hold it...

Simple tip, ratchet strap loosely around let’s it fall out of place but not across the room. Enjoy your wrenching and the whips but be safe. 84 monteSS

Buy a spring compressor and be careful. It's not a fun job to do.

I saw on another channel that the tight end of the coil on the rear goes towards the bottom. Here, you have the tight coils at the top. Are you confident in the tighter coils needing to be at the top of end of the mount? Honestly, I have no idea, just hoping for direction.
@BOURBONANDBOOST
@BOURBONANDBOOST 9 месяцев назад
I am 100% confident that the tight coil goes to the top. The longer coil goes into the slot on your lower control arm.

The Easier way is to just take the lower control arm bolts out. Avoids damage to the ball joints and other components.
@BOURBONANDBOOST
@BOURBONANDBOOST 2 месяца назад
Then I guess jack the control arm up and rebolt it? If this is what u mean I will have to try it

there are 2 holes in the lower control arm, the lower coil needs to sit between the 2 holes

If you are tossing the old springs, why cant you just cut it in two places with a Sawzall?
@BOURBONANDBOOST
@BOURBONANDBOOST Год назад
I've tried that and it took forever and the spring still pops.

I just took a set of these off my 87 SS with KYB shocks. The car spun so bad on the line. Not enough front end travel.
