front coil springs?

how easy is it to replace them on a vauxhall zafira club 20 ltr dti
Andrew P, April 2009
These aren't too bad as springs go, but it depends on your degree of competence (and confidence) as the strut has to be removed from the car which involves disconnecting the driveshaft (usually) bottom suspension joint, track rod and drop link ends just to remove the strut to the bench. Then you need coil spring compressors (vital) before you go in for more dismantling.
