[QUOTE="abox5, post: 690199, member: 12609"] Hey Guys, I could use a little help. I have a 94 GT Convertible. I am in the process of changing my front original stock control arms to some Ford Racing Control arms. I am also putting in new struts. I have the control arm, spring, and spindle out. I have bolted the new control arm in at the bushings. I have the car jacked up high enough that the control arm is almost verticle under the car. I am having a heck of a time getting the stock spring back in. It is so long that even with the control arm almost verticle it still won't fit back in the seat. I have tried extrenal spring compressors, but they interfer with the control arm and prevent the spring from aligning. I looked at an internal spring compressor but the knuckles on them are too large to get through the hole in the control arm, so I wouldn't be able to get it back out. So now I have a 3 wheeled mustang, unique but as usless as birdcrap on a pumphandle. Anybody had this problem? All articles I've seen are about replacing the stock springs with shortened aftermarket springs. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
