Default Anyone have a pic of the upper spring inspection hole?

I think I've found it on the car, but not sure. Can not see the spring at all through it. :eek: The one on the passenger side seems even more far removed, very hard to look at! I think I need to be hung upside down from the ceiling by a leg if I wanted to get a real good look at. Anyways, I'd really like a pic of its location, and perhaps a pic that shows how the spring should be viewed from inside the hole.

Don't have a pic but if the spring is black then you won't realy be able to see it thru the hole, too dark.

When I install cut down springs I put a piece of masking tape on the end so I can see it thru the hole and then I know it's in the right place.

All my metal is a dull brown, but the springs are black. I saw no signs of black in what -seemed- to be the inspection hole. I'd just like a general idea of where it is and how to look through it. Maybe use the shock stud or a-arm shims as points of reference...

There is only one hole there, so you must have found it. You only have to be off 1/4" to miss the position.
