sdistc Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's difficult to tell from the pictures, but I'm hoping you've not just painted over the rust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 That looks really good. Fancy doing my set of Mono Flex? I have some new springs to go on mine too. The others are looking a little rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTRickeh Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I can just see your face now as you scrape all the paint back off them when fitting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey001 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 I hope not mate!! Extra Care to be taken! Will these take much to fit? Pretty easy job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The rears are easy but the fronts are a bit of a hassle. tDR did a step by step guide on here, have a look at that if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey001 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yeah I have checked that out! I thought if all the nuts were free it would be simpleif not it could be testing. Ive been in the garage spraying the nuts which need taken off for a few nights with release spray to help them off. But I'll find out tomorow if its worked!

jackso11 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) How did you get all the old paint of so smoothly? is that 2k or rattle can? looks very good! Also, looks like there was a fair bit of rust around the bearings, did you pop them out to get that out? no more questions Edited January 22, 2011 by jackso11 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the rust off with a die grrinder and then sanded! Its is 2K paint, Silver base, Candy Green, then 2K clear for the high shine!

Davey001 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well just came in from the garage, had a good day trying to get these fitted this afternoon. I have managed to get the rears both fitted with no problems, but the fronts have been a diffrerent story! The Link tie bars were completely rusted up, I managed to get a few good turns on both side untill the allen key part just worn out. So will it just be best to cut these off and fit new? Found these for a replacement on ebay, will they do for what I want? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-FRONT-Stabilizer-Links-SET-TOYOTA-SUPRA-86-98-/220517086123?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3357d7b3ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
