[kwazy]

what all do i need to take off to install the new springs on the front of my 04 ls thanks

Remove wheel
Remove sway bar end link from lower control-arm
Remove nut from upper ball-joint and seperate from knuckle
Remove bottom strut bolt
Remove four strut plate nuts in engine compartment
Remove strut

I cant remember if there was any load from the strut when seperating the knuckle from the upper control-arm, best practice is to have a jack under the lower control-arm so you can lower it slowly.

You will also need a spring compressor to take apart the strut. Do not take it apart with out this. If you don't have one take them to a shop and have them swap the springs for you.
