SV6
New Member
Hope this is the right section for this question...
From what I have read elsewhere on this site people have been removing wheels and shockers etc to change the rear springs.
I watched as a suspension place hoisted my car up and changed the rear springs in my SV6 without removing anything. Took him about 2 mins each side to change.
I now want to change them again, and was thinking about this as my plan of attack...
- Place wedge under both front wheels
- Remove handbrake
- Get trolley jack and jack rear of car as far into the air as possible
- Pull down on the top of the spring to make it become uncaptive
- Remove springs
- Replace with new springs
- Lower car
- Enjoy
Is this a far too simplistic approach?
