front coils on 65 Olds 98 4 dr w/AC

I have replaced front coils twice with MOOG springs but there is no give in front end. I can't bounce the front at all -way too stiff.


Has anyone successfully replaced front springs in a 65 Olds 98 4 dr w/AC?


Any ideas on what spring to use?


thanks.

If you recently installed new bushings, loosen your control arm bushing bolts with the weight of the car supported by the lower control arms and retighten. Generally the springs are more to set the height and the shocks control the bounce.
