Need spring compressors with IPD lowering springs ? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Roj on  Mon Nov 12 12:33 CST 2007 [RELATED]


I diagnosed a rattle in my passenger side front end as a loose gland nut on the shock tower. The PO of the car who put the Bilstiens and IPD lowering springs in was a young kid who was pretty inept mechanically speaking (I had to fix a lot of bad mistakes he made while doing work on the car.) so I'm not surprised that he didn't torque the gland nut up tight enough.

I assume now I'm going to have to drop the strut to get at that gland nut. Correct ? Am I going to need spring compressors to do that with those IPD lowering springs ? I have some IPD lowering springs on my 240 which I bought back in the 80s (the springs I mean). I don't need to use spring compressors to change the strut cartridge with those springs. It'd be nice if I could get away without using compressors on the 700/900 lowering springs as well.

Thanks,

Roger
