1989 XJ6 XJ40 3.6L
Front Suspension
With car jacked up in front…front suspension and wheels off the ground, fully extended, hanging down and A arms at lowest position stopped by max. extension of shock absorber. What length of threaded rods or long bolt… to replace original bolts on lower front spring pan would allow the spring to be fully extended? 3 4 5 more?? inches?? Or If one lowered the lower spring pan with wheels and suspension --fully extended—as mentioned above how many inches lowering the “pan” before spring has no more compression?
and where in heck is a simple POST QUESTION button… hmmm
do i press “create topic” or “saved” ? not very clear
Much safer, the spring is under a large amount of pressure and it is in a curved setting.
The threaded rod is 3/4” 19mm the bolt at the end should be a 1/4’ spring dowel and the angle piece is on the rod the wrong way, it should be the other way around.
