94...we took the wheel , sway bar and tried to use a spring compressor,but the ***** wouldnt compress enough...and if it would have,the bolt at the top of the spring compressor wouldnt have let the spring come out.....also we did not un bolt the strut off the a-arm....is that where we screwed up ?

Car looks great. I love the two tone red, its always been one of my favorites.

You're in Livonia? Right down the street from me. I have my car sitting at 5 and Inkster. I live in Allen Park but my stang is in storage at my buddy's. We gotta get all the local foxes out for a cruise when the weather clears! Got any other pics, I may have seen you around town...... didn't see the cardomain.....

Unbolt thestrut, brakes, swaybar, and then undo the bolton the ball joint (cant recall the name right now, retarded i know) and popit witha hammer until the tie rod comes out. that will allow the control arm to move that much further out the way and you cangently tug the old spring out. The higher the car is jacked, the more you can get the arm down and out of the way making it much easier to take out and install the new one.

ALWAYS have a jack under the control arm! And sorry for the bad spaces...the spacebar onmy buddies computer is fugged.

Sorry. That wasn't the most clear response in the world. The compliment was for yourself, the comment below was for 92lx (guy who asked about the hood).
