I read all the threads I could find on this topic. Today, I replaced the rear springs and shocks on my 87 GN.
Tomorrow, I am tackling the front which I hear is more difficult.
My approach is to hold the lower arm with a jack, unbolting the arm at the frame and lower the jack slowly. I may put a chain or strap thru the spring for extra safety. I despise spring compressors so I'm not going that route.
My confusion is: by using this method, does any ball joint or anything else need to be unbolted besides the two lower arm bolts? Aside from the shock of course.
Thanks in advance.
