Replace Coil Springs (the LOW-COST Way)

SOMETIMES you can have a broken coil spring and not even know it. The cars not quite driving right but you’re not sure why. One trick to verifying a broken spring is to look at the other side and compare. Putting a new spring on your car isn’t hard when you understand the basic concepts. In this video I go through the basics so you can feel confident to safely install coil springs. Hope you enjoy the video.

Start by putting oil that looks like it needs it. Then take out the all the bolts and take out the assembly

If you use a impact hammer to take out the bolt that holds the strut in to the cover it will save you a lot of time!!

Decompress the old spring by ratcheting the compressor tool off.

Compress the new spring And put it on the strut and put the strut bolt back on.

Make sure you put Anti-Seize on all of the bolts before you put them all back on you will thank yourself later. Use a jack to push the holes into place and put the bolts back in.
