Default Suspension install



I posted this elsewhere but noone is viewing it!</P>


I just bought the MRT suspension:springs, shocks, struts and was wanting to install it myself. I don't have a lift though. Has anyone done this kind of work in their driveway? If you have can you give me some pointers? Any tips on setup, specialty tools, pitfalls, etc would be greatly appreciated. I want my ducks in a row before I get in trouble on a project like this.<IMG onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley2.gif'" alt=Wink src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

It's really not that hard. I don't know how much experience you got. But you don't need much. the shocks are easy, pritty much self explaintory. The springs arn't that hard just follow the directions that came with the kit. But just be real careful letting the pressure off the springs, they can become a projectile pritty easy if your not careful. Your gonna have to go get a alignment, after you do this work. Unless you don't like your tires.

youll need a spring compressor to help you out, makes a difference in saftey and ease of install, jack stand the car make shur the suspension is all loose and hanging by not putting the stands on the axle or lca's , look under the car, remove stuff, replace with new stuff, "install is reverse ofremoval" burn in hell chilton's
