Spring Puller not working
My Spring Puller tool does not work at all:

- Not detecting items in the inventory (No parts to work with)
- Sandbox mode
Steps taken to try and fix:
- Save game, exit game, restart
- Repair game files
- Sell Entire parts inventory
- Buy shock absorber parts using tablet
- Sell all parts again and use computer to buy
- Delete profile and start from scratch

Not working at all. It was working yesterday. I haven't tried it in Career yet, will update post if necessary. Any feedback is appreciated.

If you don't have the correct parts, it won't activate the spring puller/assembler. So, for instance, you'd buy the Front wishbone shock and then also the front spring and front spring cap. Then click on spring compressor tool and choose 'assemble' mode at which point it should ask you to chose an item from your inventory to start........think it might be R-click? Don't remember off top my head.

I appreciate your feedback, but my point is that it does not detect Shock Absorber A parts (front or rear)

Example: I have Shock Absorber A, Spring, Cap/cover in the inventory/warehouse, but the tool - Spring puller - does not detect the Shock absorber A. It detects everything else. I am looking for a fix for that specific issue. I am pretty sure it is a bug, but I am out of ideas.

P.S. I discovered that it doesn't detect that specific part after posting this thread, so my bad for the confusion.

Some of those shock absorbers don't actually require a puller* though. Some of them you just place manually. Place the base, place the spring, place the cap on top. No puller needed.
