problem is this is all what my mom has told me. She took it in today while i was in school. i wish i had gone. the work has most likely been done by now and we'll prolly pick it up tomorrow. so what is there left for me to do?
I think hes right about the springs not being in the recall as i have a 2WD. But is there any way i can convince him its a safety hazard and that they should be replaced?

well i got it back today and it definately feels much better.
Big question though: Are the old rubber bumpstops above the axles supposed to still be on? i can see the new style put on inside the springs but the old ones are still there? should i remove them?

Doesn't matter if the old bumpstops are still on or not because the ones in the coils will engage much quicker.
Old ones were more of a last resort to prevent the axle from going completely solid.
