855 Rear Suspension Top Mount Replacement
THIS HOW TO DO RELATES TO NON SELF LEVELING SUSPENSION (IE NON NIVOMAT) ONLY. TO CHECK YOUR APPLICATION CHECK YOUR SHOCKS IF THEY LOOK LIKE THIS
YOU HAVE NIVOMAT. THE CLUE BEING TO RUBBER BOOT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SHOCK This is easy and basic thing to do, it took me 30 mins If you are experiencing a banging or clunking coming from the rear suspension odds on it is the suspension top mount bush that has collapsed. it needent be a mechanic job as with a little time and patience it can be self done Step 1 Purchase 2 new top mount bushes. Like Brake pads always replace in pairs. Cost from Eurocarparts.co.uk was £13.00 each plus £5.00 for 2 hour delivery. Pfv online are a pound cheaper but del is up to four days Step 2 Tools requires 10 mil socket to remove boot seats 12 mil socket to remove mounting to car bolts 15 mil socket to remove shock centre nut 15 mil spanner Mole Wrench to hold shock thread when undoing centre nut Torque Wrench wd 40 or eqivalent copper slip Step 3 Fold down back seats for ease of refitting boot seats and remove boot seats, both top mounts will be clearly visable The N/S one is clearly shot :slap: Step 4 Using a 12 mil socket remove the mounting bolts and a 15 mil spanner and mole grips remove the centre nut old and new Step 5 Replace with new mounting adding little wd40 to the hole and some copper slip to the nut. This will assist the tightening of the bolt and protect against rust to the underside of the bolt. Tighten using torque wrench 12 mil to 30nm and 15mil to 40nm Step 6 Repeat steps on other top mount Step 6 Replace rear seats and side covers Step 7 Job done :B_blite:
