  Q: How to replace the rear coil springs on a front-wheel-drive on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A:

  The process of installing front-wheel-drive rear Coil Springs begins with securely lifting the vehicle before support. Reach the brake hose bracket screw from the Control Arm before suspending the center of the rear axle using a utility stand. Begin by disassembling the shock absorber lower bolts along with nuts before removing the rear axe Tie Rod from the axle. Avoid suspending the axle through brake hoses because this can cause damage to occur. Lift the rear axle using a utility stand while maintaining absolute caution against coating damage because this will lead to accelerated product failure. First separate the springs from insulators (3, 5) and spring seats along with jounce bumpers . Place the spring into position with painted stripe facing towards the vehicle's rear and aiming towards its center on the shock absorber. Position the jounce bumpers then install spring seats and springs and insulators (3, 5) before marking the spring positions with the axle. Safely lift the rear axle with the utility stand and install the rear axle Tie Rod before adding the shock absorbers and returning the brake hose bracket to its position on the Control Arm. The utility stand must be removed while lowering the vehicle to the ground.
