The present disclosure describes an adaptive spring compression tool that streamlines and partially automates the joining of a vehicle suspension system with a vehicle body on an assembly line. The spring compression tool can be modified and programmed to accommodate various vehicle models, products, and design modifications without replacing the entire tooling system. Additionally, the spring compression tool of the present disclosure has a structure, a function, and an operation that facilitates the compression of a spring without exerting large forces on the vehicle body. In various embodiments, the spring compression tool comprises at least two independent drives that adjust the compression of a spring and the position of a suspension system to achieve a car line position with the vehicle body.
