Technically, the plastics that melt are thermoplastic, meaning they
become more plastic with heat.
Bakelite and similar are classified as thermosetting plastics, because

it burns, it was 'set', like bakelite, and will never melt/bend.

You can still used the klann spring compressor on the front end... put the

possible on the spring. Makes things much less frightening!
If you don't want to mark up the lower control arm (which is an issue after

them that don't always correspond to what the manual/TDM says. Last time I

I recommend ordering
The surface of the springs are pretty rusted or corroded from the looks of
