Need4Speed Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I've got to change my front shock-absorbers - any advice which might make it a simpler job would be welcome. Is the trick to remove the top wishbone at the chassis end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinelm Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yup, exactly that. It is pretty easy, have a look at the attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Cheers Matt. It's pretty much as I thought, but I was hoping there was a short cut that avoided removing the wishbones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 TIP OF THE DAY..... Remove the washer bottle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Washer bottle was not a problem when I did the job, perhaps its another UK / Jspec difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Matt, you haven't got the same pics for the rear suspension as well by chance...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinelm Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 It just so happens I have! The rears are pretty easy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Nice one Rear suspension is a piece of P**s. Just make sure you remove the AR linkage. 15 Mins a side.... well ok 16! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Washer bottle was not a problem when I did the job, perhaps its another UK / Jspec difference Must be, cos there is NOOOO way the Upper ar Retention bolt comes out without removeing that thing!

Aerotop Dave Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Blimey, I'm not doing this myself, it's going in the garage. I check the water and oil and turn the steering wheel thing, but beyond that I'm perfectly happy to pay someone else to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
