Drag Link
How do you replace the front coil springs on a 99 Jeep Wrangler?
I recently found out that my front driver side coil spring is cracked so I am going to replace both. I bought a Hayes manual is it said that I have to disconnect the front drive shaft, stavilizer bar links, shock absorbers, track bar, and the drag link from the pitman arm. Does anyone know a better way, or do I have to go through all those steps?
The key is that the spring is under compression…
Here is the shade-tree mechanic way…..
Have a few friends sit on your hood or jack up the back end do that you compress the front spring… put some HEAVY wire or chain to hold the spring in this compressed state (make sure it’s strong enough it won’t snap, ’cause it could come flying at you!!)… If you did it right, when your friends get off your car… your front end should still be down… Take the bolts and the shock out.. you should be able to sneak the spring out by the wheel well.
You will need to find a way to compress that new spring to get it in.. one trick is to place the spring under the heaviest point in your car… and jack it up from under the spring… tie it off like the old one, slip it in, put it all back together, put come weight back on your car.. enough to loosen your tie on the spring… take that off, you’re done.
