<VV> Front Crossmember

[Michael Kovacs]

I use the same method as John does, it is VERY safe. No chance of the spring popping out. Yes be sure the spring is correctly in the A arm. I use a dead blow hammer to be sure it is aligned before hooking up the lower ball joint.

Jim,
When I build suspensions off the car I have a long threaded rod that I run 
up thru the crossmember.  I put a large washer and nut on the top where the 
shock top cpmes thru.  I then have a piece of wood across the bottom of the 
lower control arm.  I just turn the not on the end and it pulls the unit 
together.  Remember to make sure that you have the proper alignment of the 
coil spring on the lower arm.
