Thread: Front Springs Replacement

I am changing my front springs (thanks Tombie) on my 2002 D2V8 this weekend. Does anyone know of an instruction sheet for this task?
Cheers,

Support front end on chassis stands.

Do one side at a time.

Remove wheels

undo the 2 lower shock bolts

Apply spring clamps

Drop axle

Push shock up and tie in the closed position

compress springs

remove spring

replace spring

raise axle as high as possible

locate lower shock mounts, locate the spring perch and start the bolts

loosen off spring clamps and remove

Drop axle down

tighten up lower shock bolts.

raise axle and put wheel back on.




NB:

Don't pull on the brake lines - you may be better off removing the caliper if you want more work room or suspension drop

Be mindful that the propshaft will hit on the Xmember

On do one side at a time, not both at the same time - or make sure the axle is supported

There will be roll resistance, you can jack the down to couteract this, but check nothing is hitting - like the propshaft on the Xmember.
