Take the shocks off?
Hey guys
i need to put my stock springs back in the back of my MX73 cressida. how is the best way to do this?
i have tried using spring compressors with no luck. i have taken the bumpstops out and that hasnt helped??
need to drive the car this morning
cheers
Take the shocks off?
and get a mass pole and just lever them off
there a bit of a cunt but just need to lever them out
mind you the spring compresor might slide around and leave you with a bit of trouble but just use another one ( a 3rd one) and should be okay
but it pisses me off when people assume your hooning cos your car is loud, has bald tires, a roll cage, fresh bake and dinted bumpers!!
Or driving in a wolf pack.
yes the shocks were taken off in the first place..... the IRS arm doesnt keep dropping like a live axel diff does.
big pole it is.
any other ideas..?
Disconnect rear sway bar.
the easyest way is, undo shocks and arms will swing down, if thats not enough with spring compressors ( i know its a kunt to get them in there ) undo the half shafts... will let the arms come right down. 4 bolts on each side...
^ what john and jonny said.
thanks john.
yea i had the shocks off and the swaybar out and still was bloddy tight. i only had 2 spring compressors so that didnt help..
i ended up cutting 1 coil off, and using a 2m bar. stod on the barr while ti was between the chassis and the arm and kicked the springs into place, a few battle scars but i can drive now LOL
so one side is cut and the other isnt, with the opposite rear running a 175/65 so its level.
and im off haha
um dude... different tyre sizes (rolling diameters) will fark your diff up...
unless its locked then you will just do a strait line burnout hahaha
