Hey guys, I did a search on google and on here and can't really find an answer to my questiont. One of the struts on my Jimmy has a broken mount and should be replaced somewhat soon. I'm just gonna spend the dough and replace all 4 struts, but my question deals with the springs. Should i change the springs as well while i'm swapping out the struts?

Re: Should i change everything?
I would.
How much more $ would it set you back? If this is a car you will keep for a while and springs are something you would have to do anyway down the road.. do it now while you're there.Dave:

Re: Should i change everything?
is there a monroe quick strut available for your application? If so go that route. And always replace in pairs.Comment

Re: Should i change everything?
I know it's going to cost more, but you'd be better off with all of them replaced.Originally posted by golfproeric View Post

just to clarify the jimmy has SLA (short arm long arm) front suspension. shocks and coil springs, replace both. the rear is a leaf spring design requiring only the replacement of shocks. do those, and check the bump stops.Team NoVa

Re: Should i change everything?
I dont see a need in changing the springs unless you just want to spend the $ or it has like 400,000 miles. A new set of shocks in the front and you should be good to go. Replace them in pairs like stated earlier, but the rear might be fine unless your having issues there alsoComment

Re: Should i change everything?
yea after contemplating everything i'm mainly just considering changing the front struts since that's where i have the busted strut mount...the springs seem to be in good working orderComment

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...3 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...3 weeks ago
