Default ´Cos the subframe is coming out...

...I figured I might as well give the front suspension a bit of a refresh


(This is how it usually goes - I´m one of those ¨well as I´m there I might as well do that as well¨ mechanics - this often ends in disaster with too many parts in jam jars and bits spread all over the place - so this could be fun!)


I must say it is just as well I didn´t bother test driving the car before I bought it - I´d never have taken it on - it must have handled like the Good Ship Venus in a swell.

Anti-roll bar rubbers are a bit done in



Springs out!

Nice and easy to do on this car - no effing expensive spring compressors needed



^^^^^

Uncompressed length = 25cm - I have to look up that spec - will report back (!)

Seems like a grease gun hasn´t been used for a while

Bushings need replacing
