Lowering vs ute

[joshy123]

Simple question. Im trying to lower my vs ute. I have a rough idea how to do it but need a little help, im guessing you have to lower the rear control arm. Only problem is the bolt gets stuck between it and the hub. Any special way to bypass that? Or are the bolts the wrong way around?

You actually need spring comprressors. They should get it out.

[joshy123]

I have compressors but do you need to drop the rear control arm to give you more room?

are you talkin about the rear? If you are just undo the shocks from the top then just stand on the hub and the spring will pretty much fall out with a little encouragement.

no need to undo any bolts if it's got stock shocks on it just raise up he rear prop the car body up, whip off the wheels drop the diff down and the springs should just sit loose, and then you just pry them out with a bit of force, when lowering its andvised you put on shortened shocks to keep the springs captive and also an adjustable panhard is always good to keep the rear end in line.
