This is the first time I have messed around with a GM suspension so please excuse my ignorance. I had my GS up on the lift yesterday to change the rear springs and noticed that I could remove the old springs by hand...so I did that thinking this was too easy. I then got my replacement springs, got them into place and they were shorter than the originals...but stiffer. They didn't even go into proper position, I had to lower the car to the ground so the suspension was just starting to come up then crawl under the car to knock the springs into proper position. Is this the way it is done? The car seems to sit a little higher than it used to and the ride seems fine. I just thought it funny that first, changing springs would be so easy and second, that if I went over a bump fast enough that my rear springs may fall out. Thanks, Dan
I agree with Rick, plus they might be the wrong springs. With the shocks in place you shouldn't be able to move the springs with the suspension unloaded.
