Re: Spring fear

hate to be this guy. but a shock like that has 0 load on spring when the adjusting rings are screwed off the bottom.

Re: Spring fear

mike657894 is correct.

People that do things like this should not be allowed to be out in the garage.

Re: Spring fear

That's great. I built a spring compressor out of unistrut, plate steel and all-thread when I had to compress a spring/shock combo like that one.

Looks like a Harbor Freight welder and welding cart next to the workbench. Ought to tell you something...
