Review on 🔧 Moog 81609 Coil Spring Set: Enhanced Performance - 1 Pack by Darrell Beecher

The first photo with the two springs shown are the original car springs. The one on the right of the compressor spring is broken about 1/2 turn from the bottom. That's why I changed them. The original springs are 5 coils and the Moog springs are 7 coils. The outer diameter of the wire on the Moog spring is slightly larger than the original. I haven't done spring calculations, but the inserts are probably not the same. The free length of the feathers is about the same. I found it fairly easy to change the springs by removing the 2 lower A-arm bolts and the inner bolts (24mm hex heads). I jacked up my car (very important unless you want to get killed by a car that falls on you!) and used other jacks and pry bars to get the A-arm back in place to unscrew the bolts to reattach. I show the spring with the spring compressor, but I didn't use it to remove or reinstall the remaining springs. On my 2011 Chevy Traverse LT, I had to lower the passenger side exhaust to access the lower A-arm bolts. A bit cumbersome, but doable. I just removed the rubber caps from the pins using WD-40 as a lubricant. I drove the car and did not notice any problems with the springs, which differed from the originals.
