/diy/ - Do It Yourself

continued

New springs are like 700 bucks. So today I drove 2 hours to a U Pull scrapyard to get a matching set. I arrive with a breaker bar, a cheater bar, some sockets, and some penetrating oil. This was naive. All of the bolts were incredibly seized. Using a 5 foot cheater bar had no effect. The springs are still sitting in the junk yard. If I can remove the springs they will only cost me $40.
