In this video I show you how to replace the rear coil springs on your rear wheel drive vehicle. I’m replacing them with the variable rate design.

Dumb question – did you jack the car up by the diff? Not too new to this,
promise, just don’t have a high enough jack to do it by the rear frame,
wondering if doing it by the diff would be stupid.
Your coil doesn’t match your shocks. Which is why it drops and still raises
like when you had it before the coil swap. Need shorter shocks to match.
Lol another at home mechanic. There called swaybar end link bushings.There
on the front and the rear. If you live in a humid place or drive in the
winter they tend to rust and should be replaced as well.You should also do
matching shocks with the coil spring swap. Hard to tell but that spring
looked a little bit longer and might require a longer stroke shock. Same as
if you put a shorter spring to lower you will need to get matching shocks
or struts as well depending on the shock or struts stroke range.
How about a video on the front struts?
@XJeff13 I paid 70 bucks for these.
I just got done. Some things i learned 1) Pull back the rear seats and at
each corner pull up the square patch of carpet near the back-seat-locks.
Unscrew those as they hold in the top of your shock. 2) Chances are real
good youre going to snap your sway bar link if you try to take it loose. I
snapped one, and the other never would budge so I took a dremel and cut it
loose. Thanks for the vid, it helped clarify a few things for me
How much did you pay for the springs?
I like how everyone is bitching about the radio. Go find another fucking
video or learn how to do it yourself if all youre going to do is complain
about how he made the vid. Fuckin bitches
Well done. I have some experience but mostly came to this video to learn.
could you give me some advice for a replacement driveshaft that is a solid
one piece
@ejk1293 Yes you can. Just be sure that the weight of the vehicle is being
supported by the pumpkin itself, and not by the differential backing plate,
otherwise you’ll bend it.
Who cares about the f•••ing music.if it bothers ya idiots so much, turn off
the volume & just copy what he does.it’s not a complicated job.be happy he
took the time to make this video.there is no video on rear coil replacement
on Utube. Anyway,thanks for the video.now I’m gonna charge my neighbor $50
bucks for changing his both rear springs this weekend thanks to your
video.good job fella.
Thank you. This video was very helpful. I just want to double check, its ok
to jack up a car by the rear diff right?
Damn, ur videos are way better than anything new on The Powerblock! What
kind of Camera do you use? Its awesome that it can show all the hard to see
parts with it.
@stonehopper1067 Thanks man! I use a Samsung HMX-H100N/XAA Mini HD camera.
Most of my videos I record are in standard definition because I lack a
computer powerful enough to process it. It can also record in stereo 😀
Nice quick explanation – thank you! My 1998 needs new shocks (just ordered
a pair) but at 430,000 miles, it looks like a spring replacement at the
same time might not be a bad idea.
Turn the gawdam radio off if you want to teach somenone something.
good job dude. nice clear video. good commentary. I’m going to be doing
this on my 69 Buick Special Deluxe in a few days
so you just removed the shocks and sway bar end links and drop the axle?
unbolt the dive saft from the rear axle yoke. pry off the drive line here
the ujoint meets the yoke, (make sure the caps don’t fall off) lower and
remove from the transmission.
