Upper A Arm Bumpers

Recommended Posts

I thought it would be a good idea to put upper A arm rubber bumpers on the front suspension before the body goes back on the car. So I bought a set, and boy are they tall!

There is no way I can see of putting them on without the weight of the body to compress the front springs. (Even that may not be enough)

Has anyone ever used spring compressors to take pressure off and allow enough movement to insert the bumpers?

I don't own a spring compressor, so I would have to rent/borrow one. Just the idea of working around a compressed spring makes me nervous!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Mike

i think I'd just wait till your Avanti is back together, and fully weighted, then just pull a tire with a jack under the lower control arm, and fit them in.
