I got a set of OME's for my syncro, of course
installing the rears were a breeze.
I haven't started on the fronts yet.
Do I need a coil spring compressor to install the
fronts? Can I do it without?
I've looked at the "How to install front shocks"
article at a few of the vanagon websites, but I think
that article applies to 2wd. It mentions that after
you remove the nut at the top and the bolt at the
bottom of the shock, the shock will fall out of the
van through the spring. I don't see this happening
with the big flange attached to the shock(or is the
proper term "strut"?) that the spring sits on.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks ya'll!
