I have never done them on the front of a elky just rear. I'm also in the process of replacing the factory headliner with a new foam style silk and i finally hit 100k with . It nice to see the some of u old timers are still around ... glad to be back i will keep updating and checking in every few days.:nanawrench:
Welcome back..... tip for installing springs find somewhere in your area and have them banded ...
Install springs and when its all togerher :beer:cut the bands...much easier. And more important SAFER..
Welcome back from another Joe. Be sure to pay attention to how springs are clocked in their openings,if wrong you won,t sit level. Don't ask how I know.
Thanks guys . i rented a in side the spring compressor it works wonders also and always make sure u line it up with those little tit looking thing in there in the spring housing. i had two coil broke on passenger side and none on the drivers side go figure.. also my 34 year old cap and distributor went on me today to lol all fix now and roaring like a lion
Glad to see you back here again, Joe. Didn't you used to have an avatar pix that had flashing headlites on your car?? That was pretty cool if I remember correctly.
