I have a broken N/S/Front coil spring on my A208 convertible 2002 ELEGANCE. I'll replace this myself, but may I ask some advice first...
1- Do I need to drop the wishbone to extract the spring?
2- Will I need compressors for the spring removal/replacement?
3- Other than alignment issues, what other precautions required?
4- Is there a walkthrough anywhere, as I don't have a manual?
5- Is it really essential to replace these in pairs?
6- About £40 each on ebay, does that seem reasonable?
Thank-you for your advice and help
