My front springs were not seated in the pockets correctly so I rented a spring compressor and was able to twist them into place so that the end of the bottom coil sits in the pocket on the lower control arm. However, the passenger side seems more compressed so that the end of the coil is touching the coil above it. On the driver's side it's not. Will this settle after hitting some bumps or did I do something wrong? My 69 service manual says the end has to be visable in the hole on the lower control arm - EXCEPT for Firebirds and then gives no other info.
The speed nuts for the shocks to mount to lower control arm were missing on one side. The other side were rusty so I've gone to NAPA and hardware stores, but can't find any that are short enough. (The shock won't fit through and bolt up because the speed nuts stick out too much). Anyone know where I can get the correct one's?
