I hope you are keeping well.

I did check the mounting in the boot and clean as a whistle and in its proper position. Steve did make me wonder when he mentioned corrosion in his last post - she is an old girl now!

Looking at how the car was sitting when I picked My Wife up tonight the spring is compressed by about three to four inches compared to when the car is sitting at normal ride height.

If I can get access to get my spring compressor in there then it should be no problem, I just want to avoid any damage due to a sudden release and am not sure how much energy the rear spring would hold at that amount of compression. the front ones certainly have my utmost respect when compressed!
