Geonovast Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was working on removing the D30 to fix my oil leak, I get the passenger tire off, start unbolting the swaybar link, and I notice that the spring is broken. It broke right where the spring is no longer actually sitting on the bucket. So that solves the mystery as to why the UCA keeps hitting the oil pan. I have a good set of springs up in WI(I'm in MO right now). However, I'd like this leak fixed before I drive the 560 miles back up there. I'm thinking I could just swap the coils, put the broken one on the driver's side, take it easy, and then put the good coil in when I get home. Thoughts?

wallisek Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Your control arms are keeping your axle in place and not the springs. If it looks like the weight of the vehicle will keep the spring in place I'd say go easy on it and go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Fill the broken coil up with tennis balls to keep it up... I have seen it done before to lift a vehicle with sagging springs... don't see why it wouldn't work. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
