Do you need to remove the coil spring to replace the upper control arm bushing on 1990 dodge ram van?
I have a '96 and I know they changed some things, but to my knowledge it's not necessary. I've completely removed my upper control arms without touching the coil springs. The coil spring goes from the lower arm to the frame, and the upper only connects to the steering knuckle.
Is a ball joint a load carrying joint or locating joint?
The vehicle load is supported by the springs, or if so equipped, torsion bars. But the ball joint or joints take a good deal of stress from steering and especially driving on rough or bumpy roads, transmitted through the wheel and steering knuckle.

How do you take apart drum to replace breaks on 1990 Toyota corona?
The drums don't disassemble-they are one piece. They should be removed and turned by a shop then you should replace springs on backing plate and shoes. It is not a job for a novice. the shoes can be purchased with/without the springs and are color coded.
Where can you find an exploded view of the tilt wheel steering column for a 1988 Suburban from the tilt knuckle up?
He is right, the LMC cataloge was the only place I found it. But as warning, it is WAY easier to just replace the whole steering column. You can get one at any junk yard for $150, and it will only take a few hours to replace. Tearing into the column you will need a steering wheel puller, a plate compressing tool, and once you get to the tilt part you might as well forget about putting all those springs and little parts back together. the lmc truck cataloge online! then, they will, if you want, send you one for free....some of their pics are better then in my chilton!

How do you replace the brakes on a 2004 suzuki XL7?
get your rotors turned. or it may be cheaper to buy new ones. undo the caliper to steering knuckle bolts and caliper sliding pins. remove old pads, use brake lube on pad to caliper contacting surfaces. caliper to knuckle bolts need to be around 130 ft/lbs, pins need to be around 40 i believe. as for the rears replace wheel cylinders if they are weeping as it will contaminate new brakes. check drums for out of round/taper, remove hold-down springs (the ones that hold the shoes to the backing plate so that you remember where your springs go, if your springs are worn buy a combi-kit that will contain all new springs. make sure you wash the new drums and rotors thoroughly before installing as they come coated in an anti-corrosive chemical for transporting. after you get your brakes installed tighten the drums in the back via the hole in your backing plate with a screw driver, you want to turn the star-wheel until you have slight friction when hand turning the tires.
