'89 190e 2.6 broken front spring removal
Title says it all.
Drivers side spring has broken near the lower end. The PO also installed a hitch mount on the rear to tow a small sailboat, and the rear has been a bit low since I got it. I'm thinking its time for R&R all 4 springs. I have a lot of respect for springs- so renting a spring compressor is #1. #2 is removal of broken spring- 'simply' compress the remains? As to new springs- I'm not looking to lower the car, and want original ride height- 4 in the car make for some cautious approaches to speed bumps. Suggestions for replacements would be appreciated.
