Question 1

How to Service and Repair Coil Springs on Chrysler 300?

Accepted Answer

First, support the vehicle, take off the nuts securing the wheel to prevent it from rolling and then remove the rear wheel and tire assembly. If you're servicing the left shock absorber, disconnect the fuel filler tube first. While the rear suspension is coming out or going back in, set extra jack stands beneath the front end of the engine cradle for balance. For vehicles that are dual exhaust or for servicing the right side on a single exhaust, put a utility jack or stand under the exhaust at the muffler, take off the exhaust isolators at the muffler and resonator hangers and allow the exhaust to rest on the jack or stand. Lift a jack to reach the center of the rear axle differential and attach it there without connecting the stabilizer bar. Remove the top screws capping the mounting studs and the bottom bolt and nut from the shock absorber. If the vehicle is equipped with AWD, be sure that the spacers between the crossmember mounts and vehicle body have not moved when removing those side bolts. Take out the bolts holding the crossmember to the front and rear, but make sure not to let both ends drop too far so as not to damage things around them. Lower the jack gradually so that the repair-side crossmember is below the body flange and carefully tip the top of the shock outward to pull it out, then lift out the lower part where it is hooked to the spring. Loosen the brake hose at the bracket to stop it from stretching later and drop the jack with the crossmember sitting low enough to remove the coil spring and isolators. When installing, first place the coil spring into the spring pocket of the spring link and after that, add both the upper and lower isolators to secure the spring to the car. Set the lower end of the shock absorber into its pocket, then tip the top inward so that it is above the upper hole and position the lower bolt and nut without tightening them. Those with an AWD system need to check that spacers are on the mount bushings on top of their crossmember. Let the jack go up slowly as you direct the spring and upper shock absorber into place, afterwards secure the upper mounting screws at 52 Nm. Fit in the crossmember mounting bolts, securing them without going over-tight. Check that the distance from the tension link to the body weld flange on the rear crossmember is at least 12 mm for the suspension to work right. Adjust each crossmember bolt to 180 Nm, lift the jack from under the rear axle differential, fit the rear exhaust in its bracket and reconnect the exhaust isolators. Replace the fuel filler tube, the tire and wheel assemblies and when mounting the wheels, tighten the nuts with 150 Nm of torque. Decrease the vehicle to the ground and mount it on the alignment rack before doing this.

Question 2

How to Safely Remove and Install Coil Springs on Chrysler Crossfire?

Accepted Answer

Before taking out the front coil spring, confirm the car is on its wheels and then remove the nut from the upper shock absorber. After that, remove the washer and rubber mount. Gain suspension clearance, then undo and remove the bolts from the lower shock. Support the lower control arm with the right device and raise it almost level, using only OK lifting tools and making sure nothing is exposed that could be harmful. Look for any harm on the special tools, use safety gloves and keep eye protection on because preloaded springs might be dangerous. With Special Tool 9151 Spring Compressor and 9152 Clamping Plates, make sure to squeeze the front spring gently. Unscrew the nuts from the lower control arm mounting bolts and then take out the bolts that hook into the car body. Support the device, release the front spring, place the lower control arm close to the ground and remove the spring when you can safely do so. For assembly, put the front spring and its rubber mount on the vehicle. Lift the lower control arm into place and attach the bolts and nuts, making sure the vehicle is at normal height before tightening so you don't add any preload to the suspension. Mount the supporting device to the lower control arm, so that the distance from the spring to the upper and lower perches is as snug as possible. Next, slowly pull out the front spring to make sure it's in the right spot, then drop and take away the coach, allowing the lower control arm to come down. Mount the lower shock hardware, lower the vehicle as you guide the shock absorber into the top spot and finally put the rubber insert and washer onto the shock stud. After installing the nut of the shock absorber upper mount, tighten it to 18 Nm, tighten the lower control arm to 120 Nm and check the vehicle's alignment.
