Title: Broken rear coil spring replacement
Post by: Bionic on 10 February 2009, 15:34:39

1999 (R) Omega Elite V6 Auto.
ARRRRRRGH! It has let me down and failed the test on a broken rear coil spring. Could'nt just be light bulb could it?
What is the best way, and easiest to change a rear coil spring?
I have found a replacement but think that they should maybe be changed in pairs?
The haynes manual seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill so someone please help!
Regards
Ray

Wheels off

Shocks unbolted

Axle stands under rear end sills

Jack under diff

Drop it down slowly, fit new springs - you may need to remove brake pipes - I didn't
