I "thought" by purchasing the upper plates I would be spared of having to disassemble the old mcpherson assy. surprise, surprise! you have to swap the rubber upper spring mount and coil isolater. arrrghhhh...
sooooo... I have to disassemble the old for those few little parts.. I tossed the idea of just buying those new from Ford but you know how it goes.. "we can't find the part, we have to order the part, the part cost $30+ for one little plasic piece" etc etc. ugh.
I already have the car in the air now, wheels off, all set to go in the morning.

just got the rear springs out, put the new ones in the rear. now I need to hold the rear shock body while I unbolt it. hard to find a "friend" to do that for you on a friday night... argh! I need either a wife or a kid or a family member here in my adopted city of austin, TX!!!
no wait, I don't want any of those here lol.
I'm gonna have to put this thing on hold till tomorrow when I can find someone to assist unless anyone has pointers on doing this job alone
Check out the rear stockers to steeda comps:
