Physical help required with suspension replacement by MuddyFairy on Fri Jan 02, 2009 12:38 pm
Hi we now have all the parts required to change the suspension on the fronty. Hubby needs some physical help to do the front suspension. He thinks he will be ok with the rear leaf springs but the front requires two pairs of hands. It would be helpful if someone has done it before can come over.
Any weekend would be great but need the car fixed by Feb. Thanks again. :roll:

What do you mean by changing the FRONT suspension ???

Typically, on a fronty, the only thing you need to change on the front end is (1) Shockers, (2) Upper Ball Joints or (3) Lower Ball Joints.
