bscott94 Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Does anyone have a video or pictures that show how to assemble B6 struts with H&R springs? I think I ordered everything I needed but I can't make things fit together how I would expect them to. I found the link below but it's H&R Springs on stock struts. I can't find anything that lists the other parts that are needed to complete a strut. I have the Haynes Manual and it shows stock struts but it still seems like something is missing. Below is what I have. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wQ3WRD6zvzHaAbxE3hCZpyKIwbBI3-Gs/view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bscott94 Posted May 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 @Haz, can you share the strut info from the workshop manual? Would that be different than the Haynes manual? I know it won't be the exact same as the Bilstein strut by hopefully it's the same components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bscott94 Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Thank you! That is very helpful. I ordered everything suggested/available from Tire Rack/RockAuto hoping I could assembly the new struts before I take everything apart but it looks like I'll reuse some rubber seats and other small items from the stock set up.

bscott94 Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Moving to the rear. I found the following on rear subframe replacement as I've read dropping the subframe makes rear spring replacement easier. I don't need to completely remove the subframe so the workshop manual section has a lot of extra steps. Do I just need to remove the shocks, put a jack under the diff and mark and remove the 4 bolts from the first part of the workshop manual, and lower it slightly to pull out the springs?

I got a spring compressor kit from Harbor Freight for $35 and it worked perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaspaST Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 @Haz do you have the workshop info on a 2023 edge st? Or is it all the same? I’m doing springs shocks and stunts tomorrow morning and haven’t found the best diy yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you recommend jacking up one quarter or the car at a time, or putting the whole front on jack stands, then the rear. Or even the entire car all together?

CaspaST Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I’m confused on my rear bill V6 if I’m supposed to reuse my bump stops? Also once mounted to the top mounting hat, it seems to knock my boots down exposing the rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
