Superb service. Thanks to all contributors.

Can I leave the shocks in place to exchange the springs? Or must I remove them or at least losen them?

have to remove the struts to get to the top of the pilow mount

you have to use spring compressor, and there is no room in the wheel well, you have to get it out, compress the springs undo the center nut and let off the compressor, it would be easy and safe to just get it out instead of busting your hands up and cussin' like there is no tomorrow

ive shipped stuff to canada and it just simply is NOT cheap. TM isnt far from me and if the bushings weight a decent bit then i dont see the issue.
