Suspension Spring ( Coil / Leaf ): Service and Repair

Coil springs are rated separately for each side of vehicle depending on optional equipment and type of service. During service procedures where both springs are removed, mark springs (Chalk, Tape, etc.) to ensure installation in original position. If the coils springs require replacement, be sure that the springs being replaced, are replaced with springs meeting the correct load and spring rate for the vehicle.

NOTE: During service procedures requiring removal or installation of a coil spring, be sure that the first full top and bottom coil of the spring is captured by the jaws of spring compressor.

Replacement of the coil spring requires removal of the shock absorber from the vehicle, and the disassembly of the shock absorber.
