Just try loosening the spring bolts that go through the rubber grommets in the spring
There’s only 4
If they were tightening without the weight of the car on them they will hold the car in the air
It only takes about 15 minutes and you don’t even need a jack
The second picture is my car with 225/70/14’s the first picture I have 205/75/15’s on the front and 28/11.50-15’s on the rear , I do not have stock springs on the car, somebody replaced them with hemi springs (5 on rear 7 front half) about 57 inch bolt to bolt, I have stock shocks and turned...
Did you tighten the bolts on your springs with no weight on them
Big no no
It leaves pressure on the rubber making them stand taller
Loosen the mounting bolts on both ends then tighten them with the full weight of the vehicle on them
I’d try that before anything else
I've seen many of factory stock vehicles that you cant put the stock shocks on without lifting the rear axle , it's the upper mount that cant take the beating of the weight of the car and that's the opposite of your problem , which in my opinion is no problem there
you might try loosening the control arm bushings and tightening them with the weight of the car on them, if they were tightened while on the lift they are twisted when the car is on the ground
sound like poly urathane bushings , when they did ball joints they might of changed the worn rubber out with poly urathane , my 4x4 truck has them , squeaks when I get in and every bump
air shocks on the rear would break the upper shock mount plate because they just aren't built heavy enough to support the weight of the car , shocks are to lesson the rebound of the road not hold weight at least when they designed these cars , they are unibody's , so if I was running...
Looks to tight on space to hit with any kind of hammer and it’s too thick to pull with pliers or vice grips but if you can find someone to borrow a big slide hammer from I think you can reach in through that access hole and hook over it and bring it back fairly easily
ya , I've bent the hood and the air cleaner on my old super Bee , my dads 70 Imperial had a short cable going from the mount bolts to the block bolts , I stole it off there and put it on mine , he didn't drive it hard enough to do any damage
