I am in the process of replacing a front suspension which includes a front shock absorber, front shock absorber cap, and a front spring. Those items are all purchased separately in the computer, but when I attempt to replace them, I only get the option of installing the old broken group of parts that are already assembled. I can't find a way to combine those three parts into a group in order to install it onto the car. Once I sold the old group of broken parts, now the option just says "No items to work with"
When I look in my inventory, there is a section called "Groups", and it shows the tire/rim groups, as they were removed:
Clicking anywhere on that screen doesn't give any kind of menu to create a new group, and none of the workstations I have available in my garage give the option to create groups of parts.
Any thoughts?

No sooner did I submit this question than I turned around and saw a tool in the shop that I'd not seen before since it was partially hidden behind a column. It's the "Spring Puller" and it's used to create and separate groups.
Once you select this item, you can select items to combine into a group. You just need to use the radial menu again and select to remove the part from the spring puller, then it appears in your inventory.
I'm going to leave the question up, since the tutorial wasn't very helpful in my opinion, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of documentation about this game that I could find useful.
Update: In the screenshot with the spring puller, on the right side is a tire machine too -- this is what is used, like the spring puller, to create "groups" of tires and rims. Side note: I found out that every time you attach a tire to a rim, it needs to be balanced in the machine next to that before you an attach it to the car.
