Changing Front Spring, Need some help!
Ok, I just bought the poly eurathane kit, tie rod ends, and 850 lb front spring. I need to know how to get the front spring out. After I got it up on jacks and got underneath the car it looks a lot different to the rear spring. Does it just sit ontop of the control arm, it has to attach somewhere. Any suggestions before I get started would be appreciated. :confused: :(

Support the vehicle on stands,disconnect the sway bar links,front shocks at lower end,and split the lower ball joint.Swing the lower control arms down and out it comes.
When reinstalling,place a floor jack under the left and right ball joints to raise the control arms EVENLY.This will prevent the spring from shifting from side to side...
