I have taken mine out twice in the last two months. Getting the spring out is the easy part. Putting it back in is tougher. All I did was take out the front sway bar connectors see link.

Take out the front shock.


Then you use a strap or bolt a chain around the lower rung of the spring and down through the hole where the lower part of the shock mounted and back up to the original starting point and making a secure loop will prevent the spring from flying out and hitting you or anything else.

Then you put a jack under the inner portion of the A Arm that is toward the middle of the car (opposite end of the ball joint) and jack it up enough to take the load off the bolts your going to remove.

Then take out the A Arm bolts that mount in the middle of the car. There is a front and back bolt. Then when these come out you will SLOWLY lower your jack nice and smooth. until the A Arm is all the way down. The spring should be fully extended and easily removed.

I never messed with the ball joint.

You can find a Youtube that demonstrates this.


Any questions just ask.
