Alright there guys I have never worked on suspension before but i am wondering how to install springs on kyb’s from my parts car. Is it that big of a deal? I have heard the rear end is easy however I have a few concerns. One is a spring tensioner necessary (probably but not sure) as well what about the upper strut bearings? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as always

Cheers

BRyce

you’ll need a spring compressor… I believe you can borrow them from crappy tire free of charge.

Compress the spring, disassemble… compress new spring, re-assemble with new parts. Bolt back in. Done.
