Exactly what jobs require the springs to be compressed? (
I believe so.

Yes, the upper arms are unloaded. They can be done without removing the spring.

The LCA bushings and the lower ball joint require spring removal.

In looking at the W126, I think you might have difficulty with the guide rod bushings if the spring remains in place due to the inability to get to the forward mounting point..........but..........I haven't done it.
