View Full Version : Replacing ALL front suspension bits!
Hey guys! :D
A couple of questions for you all. When fitting some new coilovers, I'm going to go the whole hog and replace all the front suspension components which car wear over time. So far on my list I have:
Wheel bearings
Droplinks
Trackrod ends
Ball joints
I've got poly bushes all round, so no need to change those. Can anyone think of anything else worth replacing?
Finally, for the parts mentioned, are there any which are "uprateable" so to speak?
Cheers in advance! :y:

Rear wishbone bushes?
Assume you wont be using standard topmounts?
Bushes are all poly, so no need to change.
Yeah, will have some tasty AST adjustable ones. :)
Just a little bump on this one...

I was on about the top mounts on the struts dude lol
I know. Hence why I referred you to my previous post which mentioned the fact that I was installing adjustable top mounts. :)

you say all your bushes are poly but usually people will do the front
the rear bush that bolts through the footwell is hard to find uprated so just checking you have them done
personally id go pugsport on them (as i have)
other than that it sounds ike you have it fairly well sorted
Cool, thanks for the advice mate. As they're already done, I won't go changing them. :)

I think youve got everything covered there mate. Only thing i would say is i recommend the drop links i can get, have been spot on for me, alot of people seem to recommend them and mine are now 3years old and still going strong (although only covered about 8k).
What are "the drop links I can get" JP?

Have a trawl through my project thread, they are top quality ones & strengthened, last time i was home i could get them for about 32quid for a pair + delivery but i'll check in a few weeks for you when im back if you want -- remind me!
Are you the only person who can get them?
