I went out at about 11am to start dissembling the suspension in preparation for tuesday. It went about as well as I would of thought. Lots of rusty and tight bolts. Took me a few good hours to get the rear springs and shocks out. I ended up having to remove the entire “T-bar” assembly from the car since every other method wasn’t working, I tried compressing the springs and trying to remove the though-bolt in the diff.

So after I got those out, I was pretty pumped, I knew the front would be easier since I’ve done the exact same setup on the jag. Boy was I wrong, went to jack up the driverside spring pan to put a little bit of weight on it and then all of a sudden I hear a “crack” and see rust falling to the floor. I lowered the jack slower than a tortoise with 1.76 rear-end gears, look under the car and see this greeting me.

So then I try the passenger side, no breaking this time BUT there’s this nut which i’m 95.6% sure is not supposed to be there holding the last stud in for the spring pan. So ya I’m in a little of an angsty mood.

Just to humor you guys here’s the shocks I pulled off. The three black ones are OEM and the one blue one is a sachs. I felt like richard hammond when he had the M3 in one of the cheap car challenges.

Your first picture made me concerned for my monitor, the second makes me concerned for your car.
