Front suspensions
 

I am gonna change the front springs and struts in the front of my 90 LX. I was wondering if there is anything I am going to need to replace them (bushings, grease).

You don't really need anything. I've never done the springs but I've done struts lots of times and all I needed was a little patience. If you are changing the springs get some new rubber isolators for them as yours will most certainly be shot. Also make sure you put the springs back in the way they cam out or the car will sit crooked. Good luck.

well, i started the job tonight. The strut was easy as pie, but i couldn't get the spring back in even with 3 people. I need to get one of thos internal spring compressors i think.

Godslayer, Pass up the internal spring compressor rig and find an external spring compressor like is used on front wheel drive cars with the strut rod inside the spring. It looks like a big "V", it pivots at the "v" intersection, has the clamp bolt in the middle and clamps to the spring at the open end of the "v". Be safe when you do this work and secure a chain around the spring and the K-member frame.
