Who Can Fit Springs On A Car?

[jay dh]

got some springs to fit on my car and its not a job i have the tools or knowledge for

garages charge at least £70 (and thats if your lucky), so if someone in swindon, bath, bristol, reading or around there is able to do this job, i will drive to you and will happily pay you for your time ( amount TBC)

please let me know if you would be so kind as to help

cheers

Bit further, but Earpl was offering to do it.

[jay dh]

thanks for the info but i think he lives about 3h north of me, bit too far

[Fidgits]

£70 isnt bad - i paid £100 to have mine fitted professionally...

[knightrider]

ive fitted a fair few sets and can say a yaris is a 4hr job if your quick but i am too along way from yourself

[jay dh]

its a 4h job?

guy who did my clio took 1h 30mins, surely it cant be much more complicated...

[clarky]

Mines were three hours in a pro garage if that helps?

[Kerby]

mine took 4 hours when i took mine in. and got charged £80 inc tracking

I have spring compressors... and live just by reading :D

I can do a supra at 15 min a corner........

Four hours??? I can have an engine out a car from running in that time!

yeah it can be done quicker but the kettle takes a while to boil, and im not a pro if i pulled my finger out it would be 2hrs but usually takes me longer cuz i faf about

[Moffmo]

took 1 hour and a half by the mechanic

when i changed the whole suspension, it took about 2 hours, with a rachet gun,

When we swapped suspension at lees it took about 6 hours, but this consisted of quotes from little britain, and varoius other comedies, general messing about, and 2 cars, with a lupo interfering halfway through..

:D

[Karma Supra]

What suspension setup does a Yaris have then????

I am guessing its the usualy hatch back McPherson struts at the front, and some form of trailing arm setup at the rear???

Unless there is some Odd Yaris specific thing that makes it a biggger job I can't srr why it would take that long thats all....

i.e. in a Mkiii supra you have to remove part of the front ach liner, and un bolt the windscreen wash resevoir to remove the front upper wishbones........

[jaxx]

yup, maccys on the front, trailer on the back

rear can be done without undoing a bolt :D just jack the chasis and compress the springs, 20 mins and job done

front takes about an hour or so if you have a good set of tools

!Removed! about the front is getting to the strut tops due to the scuttle panel
