Thanks for a clear video.

Need a spring replacement video.

@beingsneaky unfortunately I can't provide videos on demand. What i can do is tell you how to replace the spring. The lower control ar that holds the spring is held in in 3 points, 1st point towards center side of car where you also do the camber adjustment, the shock absorber connection point which is present close to the wheel and the wheel to hub connection point which is also close to the shock absorber connection point. You will need a jack to press on the bottom side of the control arm, raise it up and keep spring in tension. Disassemble the wheel to hub and shock absorber connection points and easily release the jack. Spring tension will release and you can take out the old spring and replace it with a new one. If the car is on a 2 post elevator use a gearbox jack to press on the control arm, if car is on ground use a normal tire shop jack to press on the control arm. Reassemble everything in reverse order of dissassembly.

How did you remove the top nut on the shocks

@jackmehof2807 if you watch the entire video it will help me make more videos. I did not remove the nut as it is welded on the rear subframe. I only removed the bolt with long half inch extensions and my Dewalt impact gun. Thanks for watching and commenting.
