Fit Tip - Shocks, Struts and Suspension

I have three city cars. About 2-3 years ago I replaced the leaking airbags on a 98 TC Sig with Moog CC865 springs. I can't remember the details but the job must have gone well enough and I'm still happy with the results. Earlier this month I replaced the leaky bags with a 99 TC Sig with ACD 45H1137 springs. Aside from leaking bags, the air compressor pump actually "threw out the stem," no joke. It has a 4.6 liter V8 but has 9 connecting rods under the hood. I think these ACD springs and isolators and instructions are identical to the Moog CC865. I remember clearly that this work was a success. However, the instructions state that the axle must be supported before releasing the shocks to keep it from dropping too far. I had a lot of trouble getting the axle down far enough to pry the springs. I ended up loosening the brake hose clamps (not the hoses themselves) on each side and the small position sensor switch spring on the center axle. I then used a car scissor jack; inserted just above the axle and just below the frame hinge. Advancing the jack about an inch dropped the axle and allowed me to insert the spring; Repeat the process on the other side of the car. I'm happy with the result. These ACD springs appear to be the same as the Moog springs but sell for a little less. I also ordered these ACD springs using Amazon's free standard shipping. I placed an order around 2:30pm on Wednesday. The package arrived at 10:00 the next morning. I had the springs in the car and they were all cleaned the same day. I live in rural South Carolina, but I can't tell you exactly where the sources are coming from; It appears to be either Kentucky or Virginia. Oh, I worked alone with the car on the lawn in the yard every time. With a good hydraulic jack and stands with floor plates. And I'm not a spring baby.
