Need help guys.... Currently working on the passenger front control arm. I am in the process of removing the spring. I have the spring compressed w/ a Klann type compressor. Prior to doing anything, I removed the uppers bolts holding the shock. When I lifted the car you could see that the shock up top had some play as it allowed the suspension to drop lower, say 1/2 inch. When I began to compress the spring that 1/2" gap bagan to close. I have the spring compressed where is it loose, but not enough to completely remove it. I don't to compress the spring anymore than need be. I removed the bolt at the bottom of the shock, the swaybar link holding it onto the control and no go. If I press down on the rotor assembly, it bounces fimrly, showing there is that available play but I don't know what else is holding it up and keep a springy tension. The lower control arm bolts are still in, haven't touched them...

Thoughts guys? I'd liek to have the spring out at least today.
