I suppose that is possible, however I would not recommend it due to how dangerous it could be. The proper way to remove and intall a coil spring is with a spring compressor, available at you local parts store. O'Reilly Auto Parts has one for $32.99.

The safe jacking point on the new VW Beetle is at the drain plug. Use a square of plywood on the floor jack. The stand goes under the forward spring plate or under the round outer torsion bar.

Don't do anything!! Take your car to the mechnic and get it fix.
Yeah, usually...a lot of tailwheel aircraft don't have shock absorbers, and making the landing gear out of spring steel lets it deal with uneven runways and the like better than just bolting the wheel to the end of a rigid steel thing.
No, the recoil springs are not adjustable. You can stretch one out and reinstall it, but it will wear back down again if in fact it is too weak to operate the recoiling barrel. The spring should be replaced.

At the engine end of the upper rad hose, Make sure when you reinstall it the spring goes toward the enigne.
Support the car on axel stands under rear jacking points then undo shock absorber and then the axel should fall down lower using a jack to support it making the spring loose and should be able to remove and replace.
When putting an object on a spring scale the pointer is going to show that objects weight. So the answer would be WEIGHT. Like for example when you are in your bathroom and you step on the scale , the pointer is going to show how much you weigh.
Generally the negative end of the battery goes up against the spring.
