Broke a Coil Spring - 87 300D Turbo
The front coil spring of pass side is sheared. Cant believe it, its like 1/2" dia.
Couple questions - 1. how hard is it to change, and what is procedure ? 2. should i replace both front ? 3. what other models use same front spring as my 300D turbo, so I can check the wreckers? Thanks.  Paul

If youre getting new ones, replace both. You need the correct spring compressor to exchange it- its real easy once you have it

check that again, the hole for the spring compressor should be in the lower control arm.
