Is the spring already installed on it or is that something else I have to get

They don't come with springs. You install your old ones with special compression tools. You can orde assemblies that have springs installed.

You will need to get the spring or use the ones you already have. This is just the strut

No it is not installed. Unless you know someone with the tool you will need to rent it from a local auto parts store. You usually get the full amount back when you return the tool.

The spring is not installed on this strut. You will need to either reuse the spring on the car right now (normal) or go purchase a spring from and auto parts recycle place. Springs dont wear out normally, so u can normally reuse the factory spring. If there was damage done to the spring, i.e. corrosion or physical damage from and accident you can get one from the auto parts recycler. To remove the spring you will need a spring compressor. You can rent those for free from most auto supply stores, i.e. advance auto, autozone, oreilys.

Nope you need to remove the spring from the old one and transfer it on to the new one. Monroe does make a "ready-strut" that comes assembled.

Yes Tammy. Everything you need to install the helper springs is included (with the exception of the tools of course). Note: When I go over speed bumps, there is a chattering noise that I never heard before I installed this product. May be due to the fact that I did not tighten them down that much when I installed them.

It is definitely the spring. I tied the middle of the spring together to give the spring more strength and had no problem. One other of the design problems is the cover plate. Look to see that the inside of the plate is not making contact with the big belt wheel. The way to correct this design problem is to use washers to lift the cover plate away from the middle nut of the big wheel that holds the large belt.

No, I'm sorry but it does not include the spring. This is just a stock amazon photo

You need springs the mounting screws and a tremolo bar... These are a great deal... I have purchased 6 in the last two years... I usually upgrade from the skinny blocks so all the other stuff is reused and that works out very well...

Hi, I did not use a spring box, instead I used a support box. Hope this helps.

I purchased this and we do not have a spring base either. To be honest, it was difficult to install. A lot of bending, pushing, pulling and a few choice curse words. I do have it installed now, and it does work wonderfully. If you plan to purchase, I would just be prepared for the installation to not be as easy as it says in the instructions. Good luck!

No. Mine also needs to be guided back into place but it's not a problem and I don't remember anything stating that it would spring back into place.

I purchased this last year, but didn't install it as planned....so I don't have any helpful input. Hoping to install in spring

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

Not necessarily, many customers install the springs without. However we recommend having your alignment checked to make sure you will not incur abnormal tire wear. Some customers install a camber kit so that they can adjust camber to their liking.

I have had the same thing happen. Anyone have an answer to the original questoin (a diagram showing how the spring goes together)? Thanks

It does come with spring and if you watch youtube instructions it is very easy to change it out.

Depending on the age & condition of your existing springs, the truck may not sit level if you only replace the one side. I went ahead & replaced both at the same time.

Did you install the spring correctly? My faucet head is pretty tight and clips right into place when I don't need the hose

didn't have that problem. what I would do is contact who you got it from and ask for an exchange or refund.it might be just a default in that one. it did settle when the box spring and matters was added.
