a 95 civic set should work and will be cheaper than buying even one new spring. they do have really high spring rates though... or you could shell out for lowering springs from www.festivamotorsport.com in the performance section.
Use a strut spring compressor to compress the old spring, the remove the strut from the spring. Use the compressor to put the strut into the new spring. Install the strut and spring into the vehicle.
replace coil springs in a nissan 300zx
S10 dont have struts the have coil springs and shocks
a test to tesy ur strut assembly is to rock the car on the front and see if it returns in one rebound if not it is time to go and get some new springs
No but, a bad shock or strut along with a wheel out of balance could.
unbolst strut from the vehicle. compress the springs with spring tool. take large nut from top of strut assembly. remove spring from assembly. use tool to unscrew the top of the strut cartridge. slide top off of strut piston. take strut cartridge out and replace with new one. then revers the steps.
they are struts you must take out the old strut,take the springs out and put them in the new struts
It's easier than it seems. First, disconnect the brake lines at the caliper or wheel cylinder on both sides. Then loosen the pinch bolts on both sides that tighten the hub assembly onto the bottom of the struts. Using a pry bar, stand on the bar and remove the hub assembly from the strut on both sides. Locate the top of the struts on either side inside the car under the window. You wil have to remove the upholstery that is directly below the window to locate the top of the strut. Remove the three nuts attaching the top of the strut to the body of the car. Once removing these, the strut will just fall away. Go back outside and guide the strut out of the wheel well. Once out of the car, you will have to remove the spring from the strut using a spring compressor. Since the springs are bad, probably the struts are bad also so the best idea is to buy "quickstruts" at your local auto parts store. These are a strut and spring combination ready to bolt into your car directly. It really is alot easier. Assembly is the reverse of removal. If the struts were recently changed, then use the spring compressor to shorten the length of the springs until they are loose in the struts, then remove the strut mount, but only when there is NO pressure from the spring on it or serious injury WILL result. Once you get the strut mounts removed from the struts, just take the the springs and the mounts and simply transfer them to the new struts and reassemble making SURE that the strut mounts are totally tight on the top of the strut shaft. Loosen the spring compressor until the springs are tight in the struts and you can safely remove the compressor. Then just remount this assembly into the car. Assembly is the reverse of removal. Good luck.
Do you have the factory air ride or have you converted the car to a coil over suspension?
I have the same problem. I'm thinking shocks.
Assuming you're going to install the used strut/coil assemblies, then this makes the job a whole lot easier! Not having to compress the coil springs and disassembling the units onto new struts will be a real time-saver. In fact, most strut manufacturers sell a strut/coil spring assembly - at a pretty good premium price. See "Related Questions" below for the repair procedure information
Buy new struts (if this is the first replacement, buy the new struts complete with new springs. Ford focus springs are notorious)Do one side at a time. Use the other side for reference for reassemblyLoosen but don't remove lugnutsJack and support front of the carRemove tireRemove brake hose from strut(TBC)
