I have a question which may make me look stupid. I keep hearing about cone compressors. Now I have my suframe at the moment with just the cones and trumpets sitting the towers flopping around. Is it just the load that keeps the cones in place? Having worked on nothing but Hydrolastic I am bit green in this area. I gather you need to get a cone compressor when you want to re-install the top arms, correct??
:oops:
Cheers

yes it is just the cars weight that holds the cones there, if you are fitting hi-lo's you MAY get away without using a cone compressor,
