I have a question with regards to front suspension components:
I have my chrome-bumper B up on jackstands at the moment while I do work on the front bearings (previous owner apparently didn't use the shims and spacers, just set them up like a trailer wheel bearing - obviously never drove it since that was done since the grease in there is still perfectly clean). However, while having the wheels off to start taking that apart, I noticed that even though the jackstands are under the lower control arm (basically supporting the car directly beneath the spring cup) the front shock is fully down against the bump stop. Is it possible the previous owners could have installed too tall of a spring (like one for a rubber-bumper model)?
