Replacing 98 C5 rear transverse spring
Anyone had the occassion to have the rear transverse spring replaced in their C5. Over my head in terms of do it yourself, and I wanted to know a ballpark figure for having it done at a shop (not the chevy dealer of course). Thanks

If you have a jack and some stands, it is a fairly simple job. I just changed out my shocks and springs for coil overs and did the whole thing in an easy work day. You do not need a lift. Put the car up on stands, pull the wheels and you are in business. I'm 74 years old, so it didn't require a lot of effort. There are numerous write ups on here and no special tools are required.
