Other side done!
The 2nd spring is in and control arm up. Going to celebrate with a double shot of expresso added to a white chocolate mocha and whipped cream on top. If I get the buzz I hope to, I am going to finish up the car tonight!

Did you end up using a spring compressor to re-install the front springs or were you able to "persuade" them back in without one?
I'm not suggesting that you forgo your caffine buzz but I seem to prefer nitrous oxide and Maui's number one cash crop for my victory celebrations  Plenty of time to be mellow when I'm dead.

I posted in another thread that i was wrong about my assumption of getting it back in without compressing the spring. It seems that when removing without one, there is a bow which can't be duplicated when putting it back.
I tried several approaches before I hit "pay dirt". (without buying the offical MB compressor and before I knew it could be rented for $75.00) Don
