Ok so I am swapping a set of lowing springs off my car and putting the stock springs back on. I started this on Friday and so far I have the strut spring assemblies off, one spring swapped and had to buy new front upper control arms. Now Saturday night I went to a friends who has a spring compressor and after 2 hours we got one swapped, and a broken spring compressor. Now the other three are at a local shop to be swapped. I put on my new upper control arms and was putting the one spring I have in. well it seems that when we put the new spring on we moved the lower spring bracket. Now the struts bottom bolt hole will not line up. Is there anything I can do. I have been at this for way to long.

 

gotta reverse the process and start over go get your springs back from the shop, no reason to pay to get them done. 2 options. Go to Harbor Freight and get a compressor for $10 bucks or go to autozone and rent one for free. GETTERDONE!

 

Went to harbor freight and got one of the good ones for 60 and it worked like a charm. This has been about the longest suspension job I have ever done.

 

Haha! Try going air

 

Yeah I hear bags are terrible. Had a buddy with a bagged s10.
