At the front of the engine there's a small shock absorber. A couple of inches to the driver side of the upper attach point of the shock absorber is the upper perch of the spring. The lower perch is about 8 inches directly below, at the end of a lever opposite the lower end of the shock absorber. Takes about 5 minutes to fit a new spring including the time it takes to open and close the hood.

Again - many thanks Sixto! I'll take this info with me to my mechanic's tomorrow morning. I'm hoping to get this stuff cleared up quick so I can get back on the road.

Hey - if nothing else, at least I'm learning a lot! It has been a while since I learned this much about anything in this short a time! My brain is getting a good workout with each and every problem I have to confront - I just have to learn how to NOT let them stress me out when they pop up!!!
