Coil spring compressor

[427TJ]

Need a spring compressor for changing the front coils. Any recommendations on brand? Thanks in advance.

Buy the best one you can get....no Taiwan specials!! I bought a professional grade one from my local Napa store....also don't ever use an impact wrench for compressing the spring...only a ratchet/breaker bar. The compressed spring is like holding a hand grenade http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif you need to be careful. Some guys attach a small chain to the spring/frame for removal, in case it jumps out.

good luck...wilma

I agree a spring compressor is not the place to skimp...
