Question suspension woes

Just had my 60,000 mile service on my 2003 tibby. Timing belt, accessory drive belt, water pump, tensioner, the whole schmear at the front of the engine. Now its bouncing all over like a car with no shocks. What part of the suspension did the mechanic have to fool with to do the engine work?

Whole job would have required no more then removing mount at right frame rail to mount on engine

4 cyl or 6 cyl ??

6 cylinder -





4 cylinder -

Default Suspension Springs

How hard is it too replace my springs on a tibby? I got a lowering kit for Christmas but I don't really want to pay to have them installed.

The rears are easy but the fronts require that you remove the struts and have a spring compressor to replace them.
