First you'll need a spring compressor thet can compress the spring on the car, because the bearing plate that hold all of it together is broken, or the body has rusted so bad the entire thing cam e thru the mounting area., If you havent done this before, now is not the time to learn! These springs are rated at 1500 psi and can seriously injure or kill you if you dont know what to do!
