  Q: How to Safely Remove Coil Springs from a Front Suspension on Chrysler Crossfire?

  A:

  Before you get rid of the front coil spring, make sure the vehicle is raised on its wheels and unscrew the upper Shock Absorber nut. After that, take out the washer and rubber mount. As soon as the vehicle is off the ground, undo the bolt and nut on the lower shock absorber to remove the shock. Hold up the lower Control Arm with the proper tool, lifting it till it is almost level, using yes accepted clamps and secure the danger area. Before loading springs, check all tools for wear, put on gloves and protective eyewear, since the springs could cause injury. Apply Special Tool 9151 Spring Compressor and Clamping Plate 9152 to compress the front spring gently. Pull out the nuts from the bolts attaching the control arm to the car, then take out these bolts. Loosen the supporting device, let the lower control arm drop, hold the front spring and when it is clear from both the control arm and upper perch, release and take out the front spring.

  Q: How to Install Coil Springs with a Rubber Mount on Chrysler Crossfire?

  A:

  To install the compressed front spring with the rubber mount, put the assembly onto the vehicle first. After that, lift the lower Control Arm up to its anchor and use bolts and nuts to secure it. Set the vehicle to its normal ride height before handling the lower control arm bolts. Use a supporting device on the lower control arm and adjust it until the space between the spring and the upper and lower perches is just right which confirms the spring is in place. Let go of the front spring slowly, so the spring stays in position and after that lower and remove the supporting device to drop the lower control arm. Replace the Shock Absorber reacting bolt and nut, make sure they are tightened to 55 Nm. Reduce the height of the car as you place the top of the shock onto the mount and then cover the shock stud with a rubber mount. Secure the shock absorber upper mounting nut, turning it until it reaches 18 Nm and afterwards tighten the lower control arm by 120 Nm. At last, park the vehicle and check the alignment before driving.
