Noel,

A come-along is a hand operated winch, used for installing/stretching chain link fencing and whatever else. Another poster mentioned use of a ratcheting tie-down -- that would work.

The Haynes manual shows two springs fitted to later models -- code red = 252-258 lbf, and code white = 259-266 lbf.

Hope this helps.

Gabe


Hey, Gabe, what's a "come-along"?

Also, what are the stock spring rates for the front and rear of the '83 320i?
