After being sick for a month and several rainy weekends I finally got back to work. I was going to put the front suspension back together and remove the rear suspension. Upon removing the strut cartridges I found that one had been leaking oil into the housing. The good news is the struts are Konis. Now I have send them out to be rebuilt. I've heard it's cheaper than buying lesser shocks new. We'll see.

On to the back. I discover that you need two spring compressors installed when you remove the top nut and plate. No injuries just a little start when one side of the spring jumped. I used both on the other spring. I have Koni shocks in the rear too. One seems to compress very quickly and other is pretty stiff. I guess I'll have send those out to be rebuilt also.

Hopefully I'll get the trailing arms off next weekend so I can replace the bushings and the bearings.
