Wow, you had undercoating on yours? Mine was coated....with dirt and rust. Must have been an option that my car didnt get. AC
Hey Dave, Dan and I have the same part. Auto Zone part number is OEM 27035. It should be about $50. They also rent them. When taking the spring out, clamp about in the middle. And when putting the new spring in, clamp about 3 turns from the lower half.
I got springs out and front end apart yesterday.Compressor worked good I just put a spacer at top so rod would not bottom out on perch.I now am wating for new parts and am cleaning up everthing to go back.Thanks for everyones input.I plan on reusing upper cont. arm but everthing else will be new Moog parts.A freind in parts bussines gets me the parts at cost,about 1/3 of retail. Still looking for best price on control arm bushings (poly).
Hey, I got a problem. I ordered coil spings from PST. They are 2 inches lower than stock. They told me that since they are 2 inches lower that the spring will be stiffer. They are not stiff enough. To me they are only a little stiff but not like I thought. When I turn the wheel all the way, the tire wheel hit thefender when pulling in driveways & places with a large dip. How can I stop this without lifting the car or change springs again?
Smaller tires/wheels is the only other thing I can think of to fix that. Run some skinnies Oh, I guess you could use those spring separators too. They stick in your spring between two coils and kinda keep the spring from mashing in that particular area. My friend used some when he put bigger tires on his truck to keep them from rubbing. AC
I got small tires on there 224/45. Maybe I will try to find spring separators. I thought about modifing the bump stop, but I don't know.
