My wagon is having a bit of a renovation....

Along with front end suspension repairs and steering component/ball-joint replacement, rear chassis welding and repairs to sills and floor-pans etc, I need to replace the sagging rear springs....

The SLS currently is not working, but this I believe is the levelling valve, pump seems to be OK.

The ride height with nothing in the car is much lower than it should be, with the top of the wheel level with the arch.
--My other Wagon in same unloaded condition sits around 2"-2.5" above the wheel...

Much more than a small child sitting in the rear of the load area and the arch decends below the wheel by an inch or so....

Ive bought some new springs, and have removed the actuator but it appears there is a hook arrangement that stops the trailing-arm coming down further than a set amount....

Any tips on how to replace the rear springs on a W123 Wagon....?
--Does the subframe need to come down...?
