Having trouble installing springs on an F50

[widebodyq]

Hello. A friend of mine is having trouble installing the front springs on his F50. I wish I could help but I didnt do my install nor was I there to watch when the springs were put on my car. Any pointers or tips would be great. Thanks

Stock or after market? New spring seats and bearings? ABS sensor trouble?

Have to be a litle more specific, please.

Im sorry, you are right. I was in a rush when I posted. Well anyway he never got back to me yet but this is the message he left me.

"I changed the springs out on the rear...was easy..but the fronts are freakin hard. I got everything off except the lower control arm from the knuckle. I'm so frustrated. Any idea how to take it off? I got the tie rod off with a remover tool but I can't use the same tool for the LCA since there isn't enough room...man this is getting pretty difficult."

The springs are aftermarket swift springs. Thanks once again.

When I installed my springs, I came across the same problem. I just unbolted the control arms off the subframe and pulled it out still attached to the spindle/strut. Change the spring and put back together. If your car has active suspension, remember to re-align the upper adjusters to the servo motors.
