  • removing springs

    Ok I am swapping out springs on my 83 bird, but I am at the point to take them out but my spring compressors will not fit into the area between the bottom of the strut tower and the A arm.

    Is there another way or its the only way?

    What type of Spring compressor are you using? Make sure it is the type that comes up through the center of the Spring. Not a Strut Spring Compressor.

        have a shop do it, its safer and will only cost 10 to 15 dollars a piece.

          tell a shop that charges that, cause I paid 40 a side before..
