Is it possible to replace the bushings on the the mercedes rear spring arm by maintaining weight on the car and placing a scissors jack under the spring arm, then uncoupling the bolt thru the bushing...then lowering the arm slowly about 1.5 inches... yes or no?
Many thanks. If not.. best way? |
Always use a spring compressor when dealing with springs. They are powerful and can suprise you if you don't get things quite right. This is not a place to cut corners. Be safe.

Here's an excerpt from the "Safety Procedure Bulletin" that came with my H&R springs:
"The removal and installation of suspension springs can be very hazardous. Springs under compression have a tremendous amount of stored energy that when handled improperly can be released abruptly damaging people and property . . ." They also recommend having their products installed by qualified licensed mechanics. Just food for thought. Brian |
