1967 Pontiac Firebird Suspension Upgrade - Suspension Ascension
While a number of methods for removing front coil springs exist, we used a high-quality hydraulic jack and a series of large jackstands to remove our worn originals. We raised the Firebird's nose several inches off the ground and supported its body with jackstands. We then positioned the jack under the lower control arm's ball joint, allowing it to smoothly roll as we slowly released spring tension, after the upper ball joint was separated from the spindle. We cannot stress enough: Use extreme caution when dealing with front coil springs! The energy stored within can cause serious bodily injury, or even death!
