Re: Two questions

Ya, I think the one I saw let go belonged to a 1/2 ton pickup. Either Ford or Toyota, can't remember. The spring shot out of the compressor downward and sideways (away from the tech, fortunately), bounced off the concrete and took a good chip out, missed me by a couple feet and shot across to the other side of the shop. Scary moment. SVX springs don't have anything like that amount of energy stored in them.
