gee wrong parts from JC Whitney, I'm surprised, that's the problem with a "Generic" company like they are. They've been doing it for years, they give MO a bad name.
ok guys here go's! I bought a set of springs from JC Whitney,stk.No.97ly7891rf,I got them on the 28th of march,just been sitting untill this last week,asked a friend of My son to put them in for me,well he take the car all day and then comes back and charged me $75.00 and no springs installed ,said they were the wrong ones,so not his fault,I pay Him and an POed,so I measure them and I say these are the right springs.So I get under the car Yesterday and drop the rear and pull the springs off and install one new one,It bolts right up to the spring hanger and rear shackle,however the locateing dowel is 1" off,there is no way that this spring will work!
: the springs came from JR Spring Service in Warren MI,there stock # is 42-717-269-B.
: Has anyone had this problem before?
