Hi,
The shock provides the lower bump stop for the front suspension, so your
observation is correct. If you continue to loosen the upper shock nut, the
tension on the lower spring pan will eventually ease as the pan hangs up
on the frame. The assembly will not fly aprat, however, until you remove
the lower spring pan bolts. In your case you WANT a spring compressor for
this job because you have a later car (which have stiffer springs) and the
lower spring pan will be in tension unless you use a spring compressor.
regards,
rml
