I agree about the springs. I have a spring compressor and still use a chain. I just take the upper and lower control arms and cross shafts to the alignment shop, have them press out the old and press in the new bushings and ball joints. That makes it pretty quick. Got carried away with the chevelle though, with powder coating, converting to disc, new master and booster, and, and , and......wife wants to know if it's ever gonna leave the garage again.
