he said he never worked on a suspension, not never worked on cars. but keep it simple, have a friend help you out. rent some coil spring compressors, and have an afternoon at it. you'll probably find that your endlinks are rusted and you might need to go buy new ones, though.

^ me too... not really new, but never posted anything. I think you have to put 3 constructive posts in 15 days or something. I have been to other clubs and this is the only site that needs to get certain priviledge 4 pics and posting threads!!! I still like the site though...

BTW back seats are bitch 4 the 1st time 4 sure

Talking back seat removal

its actually pretty simple once you do it once, the bottom part of the seat are just a quick yank out (UPWARDS , GRAB IT BY THE BOTTOM IN THE FRONT) you might think your gonna break it but you wont there is nothing you can break. now once you pull those out then the middle console has 4 bolts that have to be removed with are the 2 front and 2 right near the back of the console. once you remove those then the top part or the seat has to be pulled upwards by both sides. and of course to put it back in you have to angle it and then you slide it down. if any questions let me know
