Re: [FWDLK] Four Coils vs. Five Coils

Ed -

Sure is!

The book says that for the front, slot the spring thru the hole in the 'web'
on one end and  the spring LINK on the other. For the rears, slot thru the
spring LINK on one end and the spring LOOP on the other. I'm gonna try it
that way for now.

Can anyone add to this ?

Ron
